What's Included in This Half Set?
This set contains 17 pieces: one full set of pieces (king, queen, bishops, knights, rooks, pawns) plus an extra queen. A complete chess set requires two half sets—choose two colors to create a unique two-tone combination. The extra queen allows for piece promotion or replacement without interrupting play.
How These Pieces Feel on the Board
Each piece has a felt bottom, enabling smooth gliding across the board. The plastic construction provides a balanced weight and sturdy feel without being too heavy. The Staunton design ensures classic proportions and easy recognition, while the vibrant pink color makes the set stand out.
Why Choose a Half Set?
Half sets let you customize your board with two contrasting colors—perfect for school spirit, team colors, or personal style. Because you buy two separate halves, you can mix and match to create a set that reflects your personality. This also makes it easy to replace a lost or damaged half later without buying a whole new set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this set come with an extra queen?
The extra queen accounts for piece promotion (when a pawn reaches the opposite rank and becomes a queen) or serves as a spare if a queen is lost or damaged.
Are these pieces tournament legal?
Yes. They meet the World Chess Federation's (FIDE) height and proportion standards, making them suitable for official tournament play.
How many pieces do I need for a full set?
You need two half sets, each containing 17 pieces, to make a full 34-piece set (including two extra queens). Simply choose two colors and combine them.
Do the pieces have felt bottoms?
Yes, all pieces feature felt bottoms that protect the board and allow smooth, quiet movement during play.
