Amazing!
Perfect gift for a chess and history lover. The pieces are large and great to handle as they have a nice weight to them and the details are so fine, every time you look you notice something new about the pieces. The service from the English Chess Company was also fantastic, my order was dispatched next day and I received a prompt response when I emailed customer service with a query. Very very happy!
