Comparing Best Chess Ever To Other Plastic Tournament Chess Sets 

As others have mentioned, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the "Bobby Fischer Ultimate Chess Pieces." The weight and balance and overall quality of the pieces are amazing. They play great. The design of the pieces also has a bit more "character" than the "Best Chess Set Ever." The bishops and pawns are a bit bulbous, which helps the feel considerably. If you want content for a new video, give it a try!

Very nice video.. Funny enough the "Best chess set ever" is marketed as triple weighted and is 2.2lbs. "Ultimate Chess Set" is also marketed as triple weighted but it weighs 3.8lbs.

I've been wanting to take a closer look at this set. Thanks for the very useful information. I'm glad you're feeling better, Alex. Take care!

I was looking for a review on this. Glad I found your channel! Keep up the great work!

I did not see your 1st vid, but this edition is spot on. I've had several questions which you answered and your expertise in this is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I was kind of on the fence about The Best Chess Set Ever and after watching this video I think I'm going to pick it up. I enjoyed the video, thanks.

The Barnes & Noble on a tight budget seem OK, albeit disproportionate and toy-like. The high polymer resin are way too shiny for my taste, and their bishops' mitres represented in a simplistic, artless manner. The BCSE matte pieces are very nice, and the anonymous "quads" seem to be made from similar Chinese moulds, but somewhat more refined (one wonders whether they are identical to the BCSE "XL" quads). Thank you for this comprehensive review Al.

Ultimate chess set is the best. 3.8 lbs and fixed weights that will never rattle. There my go to' s when my wood sets are not a option.

Resin set is heavier than the rest! Great video!

Exellent video!

Nice. This comparison is super helpful. Plus these are sets more for the "normal" player, so I'm sure that's really why folks wanted to see a more in depth review. We all need to inspire Shelby from American Chess Equipment to send you an Ultimate set. Maybe even both the plastic and wood. I've been trying to replace my old Drueke plastic set (82g king) and I'm struggling to find plastic of the same quality and attractiveness. The Ultimate set (The Bobby Fischer Ultimate Set) looks to be the most similar. The Best Chess Set Ever seems to be in the ballpark as well.

I love the look feel and weight of the "ultimate chess set", but wish the queen were a little taller. It's barely taller than the bishop.

Good review. If I needed a chess set, I'd buy any of these except the high polymer set.

Please do a video on dgt pieces

The quad weighted chess set is amazing. Is it on Amazon?

Do you have a pink for the resin pieces? Thanks

Hi, does anyone know where I can get the high polymer set

Where did you get the chessboard in this video from?

Hi! Where can we buy the polymere one? Thank you!

What camera do you use for your vids it looks really good

one big thing you didn't mention is that the best chess set ever pieces don't have any excess plastic crease like the rest. Huge quality difference. It might just be the best chess set ever for its cheap price.

Where can i buy the resin chess set?

Do you have a link where I can buy the high polymer resin chess set?

Excellent review that is very helpful for collectors of plastic parts. I've been thinking of buying a new set lately and the polymer pieces look pretty good to me, I like the design and that the towers finally have a large size. I haven't seen those polymer pieces in person, but I've read reviews about them being too shiny, which is not bothersome for a casual player or to be used as decorative pieces as well, however maybe for someone who plays quite a bit and for points, their shininess can be distracting. What do you think? in person they are too shiny (compared for example to the set you show The Best Set Ever (which is a Staunton Fischer)? I would appreciate your opinion. Blessings

👏🏽

So which do you like more between the eBay quad weight and the best chess set ever?

5:45 What brand is the polished black king?

I don't own the "Best Chess Set Ever" but my OPINION is that for a silicone board and triple weighted plastic pieces I feel like it's being overpriced by quite a bit.

My "best chess set ever" pieces (most notably the queen) look very different to yours. More alike that Barnes and nobles one, but significantly taller than the bishop.

No links ? I’m looking hard to buy the right set but man it’s tough to find specifics.

I've played with a greatest chess ever I really liked it the prices are really nice size good quality I would want it to add to my collection

hi, great video , where did you buy the chess board?

Is that a mouse pad board? Looks like the mahogany and maple I’ve seen…just wondering.

is it more common to see the weighted or unweighted DGT timeless pieces in high-level competition? Also are those boards USB-C, or instead Bluetooth?

Please give nane of this last piece
