Nice Tournament Chess Set

Hello All,

     I am looking for a new easy-transport tournament set.

Here are some of my expectations:

- Between $85-$165 (Or close to that)

- Mouse-pad board (Green preferably)

- 4 inch king

- Quadruple weighted

- Durable pieces

- A nice looking bishop (With a deep crevice for the mouth.....Weird but neccesary)

- A nice carrying-case that can hold everything including a clock and my notation sheets

Thanks for the advice!

For that price (up to $165) you shouldn't have too much of a problem.  You should be able to get what you want for far less than that.

You might want to re-think the 4" king.  That's a very large king, and unless you're also getting an extra large board with 2.75" squares, the pieces will look crowded on sets with 2.5" or less squares.  A 3.75" king is seen much, much more frequently in chess clubs and tournaments.

This product from The Chess Store looks nice and is one place to start:

Here's one from the same site but with the 4" king you desire:

Be sure to look at this set, from Wholesale Chess:

Note that THIS king is 4 1/8".  But at least the board they offer with this set is larger too.  (2 3/8")

Thanks, they are all very nice sets. I especially like the last one.

It just came yesterday. I'm very impressed. Thanks for the help!
