Selecting Chess Sets for the Classroom

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

For home use, i play on a 60mm sq board, lovely walnut n maple natural wood and 4" pieces, American Staunton, early 1940's style. Everyone wants the set. It gets compliments all the time even from strangers.

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

@Abhi for the board you're out of luck, it's a +25 yr-old board my uncle Rigo picked up in Hungary. but the pieces are brand new, 1941 "liberty" series originally by w.t. pinney. HoS makes a replica as well as chessBazaar. I love this old + new combination.

[@KandiKlover]

@Abhi You can get much better boards from house of staunton. His is junk and he is just nostalgia-ing to show off. Age doesn't matter and is just a waste of your money. Don't bother with worn out 19whatevers pieces.

[@AlSuChess]

Great video! Thank you for sharing! Practical sets!

[@ukspankedyank]

Very interesting. Really enjoyed this and love how you explain it. :-)

[@ChessHouse]

Thank you for the kind comments. More videos coming!

[@cartoonworld1000]

I love your channel, could ease tell me which of the learning materials you showed in the video would be practical for me, my dad, and my mom if all three of us are learning to play. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

[@ChessHouse]

Thanks for your kind comment! Sure, since all of you are learning, I'd go with a DVD or two in Elliott's Chess School (Pawn and/or Knight level). If you're very confident with basics, then just the knight level, but if any of you are starting out/learning to play as you said, then definitely started with the Pawn level DVD. The books I showed on video are intended for elementary and middle school students primarily. I don't know your age, but if that's you and you're starting out, then the trio of Chess Rules, Checkmate, and Chess Tactics is a great foundation. All the books and the DVD I showed are going to work well for you to be honest. These are selected out of hundreds of other titles so although there are various options here, we find these are the best starting titles. Chess Tactics for Kids can be an add-on. For adults, Play Winning Chess is the classic titles for those new to the game. Here are links to some of these.

You should have a link in the description so I can check out your shop 👀

[@davidho2977]

Good info. I didn't know there was a reason that most roll up boards are green/white.

[@KandiKlover]

There is no most. They make them in all colors. Red and blue is also used. I tend to see regular black/white more than others and it's what I have. The USCF website has a nice purple one. I would like to get it :3

Should i get extra knights ? If yes How can i get them ?

[@KandiKlover]

@@smaishenreb_leon no, why would you want just nights? Just get bulk tournament pieces if you want extras of things. You can even get just the pieces themselves for only a few dollars on USCF website.

[@Lol-rp3dq]

@@KandiKlover You actually need them when your pawn get promoted

[@modderlol]

@@sark- in some very rare situations under-promotion (promoting to a piece lower than a queen) is necessary.. however i don’t think extra pieces are worth buying just for that situation

[@Tbbbbbbbb7b]

The mat what is it called and whats the material and do the pieces slide?

[@randykirby2326]

The 17-inch square board is set up wrong. Look at the algebraic notation. You've got the white pieces on the black side and the black pieces on the white side. But you did make it clear later in the video which side gets what. Thanks for the other tips when it comes to these boards. Good to know.

Swap out the vinyl board for a silicone example & you are golden. Not much (if any) more expensive. Vinyl sucks ...

[@ChessHouse]

For bulk purchases, vinyl is still the most economical. For one or a few boards, Flex Pad is the best though www.chesshouse.com/products/flex-pad-club-chess-board

He's just displaying the boards he not playing a game so it doesn't matter.

[@fubaralakbar6800]

It is set up correctly. As long as you have a dark square on your left and a light square on your right, you're gold. Most kids who were taught chess by a professional would be able to mentally compensate for the upside-down notation.

[@BBL.Soldier]

@@fubaralakbar6800 My man, are you special? You come at me, treating me like I'm disabled with your high and mighty attitude, and you're wrong. It's obvious that you weren't taught by a professional chess player, because anyone that was would know that, on a board with notation, whites pieces will always sit on the 1st and 2nd rank of the board. Even then, white's king always sits on a dark square and black's king always sits on a light square in the starting position. Calm your self down and stop picking fights, especially when you're wrong. Both players will always have a white square on their right because the A-H right diagonal which cuts down to each player's right sides is made up of light squares. Not only are you an A, you're a stupid one too.
