I mean is it similar to the one grandmasters use in blitz tournaments?

And is it good for long games?

What do you want in a chess set?

What are your experiences?

Which, if any, do you own?

First two things I think are:

Do grandmasters have a set tournament for blitz tournaments? I'm sure they all have their favourites and the board doesn't effect the game.

 

I don't see how any chess set would be bad for long games.

 

I think with a chess set you are mostly looking at style/size and that is an opinion area. The other thing you might be looking at is portability if you plan on bringing it a lot of places. Again how portable you find something is an opinion. You might want something that folds or rolls up to bring places or you find no problem with a large solid board that doesn't fold.

I was going to answer your questions, and then I realised you have already created approximately seven billion threads like this already.

Don't they play with weighted pieces? These aren't weighted!!!

All your threads are about chess sets. You must have a chess set fetish.
