Replacing Millennium Chess King pieces

Hi all: I might be receiving a Millennium Chess King computer as a gift. I greatly appreciate it but am unimpressed with the pieces that come with it. Have any of you found a nice looking replacement set given how small the squares are? Do you have advice on what king height or other measurement I should be looking for? The squares are 1.57 inches.

Millennium King Performance uses pressure sensors to register moves, so any chess set will work to replace the pieces that come from the factory.

Yes. As I said, though, I am looking for recommendations for an aesthetically pleasing, fitting set and/or what king height or other method I should use to limit my search to sets of the proper size. Thanks!

With such a small board, the pieces will have to be quite small. I don’t know of Wooden or Plastic sets with Kings smaller 2.5” to be weighted so they’ll likely to have to be magnetic. You’ll have to get a whole portable magnetic chess set to use the pieces from it.

I think the op was referring to the Millennium King Performance.

What exactly are you talking about? The Chess King module in connection with the Exclusive board (magnet sensors)? Or the King Performance, with pressure sensors? 

 

Sorry about that: I forgot to add "Performance" when I was writing. I am looking to replace the pieces in the Millennium Chess King Performance (I didn't realize you *could* replace pieces that used magnets).
