This set is not the cheapest wooden set you can get but I got it because I wanted wood (moisture absorbing) and wanted a set that still feels valuable. A numbers chess board that was all pawns was a plus.
Overall I like the set, most astonishing is that I can en passant on every move now, of course it’s not the traditional experience of a chess cassette but it feels and sounds right.
I love living in the multi-verse.
