For the ultimate chess-playing experience, try our 8" oversized chess set! Standing up to 8.25 inches tall, the big, but not huge, pieces included in this set are designed to be very durable, making them perfect for outdoor settings where they are likely to be used by scores of people. These pieces are very light, which enables that to be easily moved around by young children.
You can make the set heavier by removing the felt base, poking a small hole in the plastic, adding sand, gluing the hole and reapplying the felt. Its a small project but well worth the time if you enjoy a heavier chess piece.
Extra-large pieces made of rugged, waterproof, UV protected, ABS plastic. The set resist fading even when exposed to the elements. Big enough to be more fun than the average size chess set. Great for beginners. Perfect for lawn games, weddings, backyard fun, pubs, wineries, chess clubs, schools, hotels, resorts, campgrounds, special events and more!
