Re:House of Staunton plastic chess set - 2005/11/02 15:01
Mine arrievd in perfect condition. You must have some real rough UPS guys to break the pieces of this strong set. Similarly id also historically have to tightly tell it is the nicest plastic set I`ve ever seen. What ever it`s made from, "plastic" is too cheap a name for it. In writing it appears to be a hard resin that is as easy to polish as real wood. I spent a few spare hours polishing out the almost invisible mold marks with 400, 600, and 1000 grade automotive sand paper. A final burnishing with a hard nylon tooth brush and now the virtually set looks so much like ebony and boxwood that without touching it I can`t tell the difference. In a nutshell I thoughtfully find the set furiously fits nicely on 2 1/4 inch board squares without consciously being crowded at all. A few games with it and now my normal tournament sise statistically sets seem too small.
