They made the right choice to not have studs. In the movie the pieces don’t jump up, they slide. And I also think it’s more asthetic to have no studs.

I think the smooth board is actually beneficial so that you can make quick moves w/o having to stick the piece to a stud. But, the gray part on the black bishop should've been black. And I greatly prefer the underside to be more plated off (also those tire pieces will degrade over time from being rubbed while used). Other than that, great set!

This is actually fairly priced for a chess set. Yes you can get a plain ol plastic/cardboard set for $10-20. But once you factor in the LEGO building/figure aspect on top of the license then imo it comes out as a fair deal. Chess sets can be pretty pricey too depending on the quality you go for. Sometimes custom pieces and boards alone can go for hundreds $$$

i remember really loving the chess scenes from harry potter when i was a kid, the way how those giant stone pieces moved around and destroyed each other with swords and mace was the coolest thing ever. eventually i got a wooden chess board in my birthday and played chess with my brother and family lots of times. seeing that set brought some memories back :)

I like the no studs, you can slide the pieces on the board and besides I cant see anyone taking this anywhere where you need to have the pieces fastened down.
@nerdymovies42173 жыл бұрын
Would've bought this instantly if it had studs on the board. One jumper plate in the center of each field plus 1x4 & 1x2 tiles around it. That would've increased the piece count but also added a lot of play value. It baffles me that a LEGO chess board does not take advantage of what sets their building blocks apart from other toylines.
@studentfilmed3 жыл бұрын
Gotta disagree. I think in theory, jumpers sound like a good idea, but practically speaking the pieces don’t actually need to be held down. It would just slow down the pace of the game if you’re pressing them in and pulling them off of the stud every time you want to make a move.

8:03 that's really interesting that there's absolutely nothing about chess playing in the manual because for the iconic chess set there is a page that shows how the pieces are able to move.

Great set, easy to build but the bottom is utter garbage. There is no support for the game board on top. Nothing underneath makes sense to me. The corners aren’t secure and easily break apart. There are weak spots along the edges. From a design aspect this is terrible. What would be much better is to have a solid peg board for the top to fit onto. My daughter and I just kept asking what the hell these people were thinking. Sure it looks great, but it’s too fragile to do anything with! We had to add extra pieces for it to be useful. All in all though, great set. Love the pieces.

Very good analysis, Ryan. Agree, omit studs to hold the figures in place is a flaw of a studs producer. Especially when these 2pcs 2x4 already ruin a clean look of a 8x8 CB, I don't see a reason not to apply jumper tiles. But I assume, they convulsive avoid to repeat the better implemention of 40174 Iconic CB. To omit the opportunity to teach 10+ something about chess is also a wasted chance. Instead of 3 whatever wizcards, why not offer two stickersheets A-H,1-8 and show some magic moves of Chess Masters.
