A truly fantastic set — “The finished model is a work of art. The detail and thought put into the 'vignettes' at the corners of the board is amazing. So, if your a chess fan, get this set. If you're a castle fan, get this set: as I said before there's an incredible array of weapons, shields,... More minifigs and accessories, it's a great 'army builder'.”

“To summarize, this is a very impressive, supreme chess set ever released by TLG. It's really very beautiful, just by looking at it. I am very happy with the building experience and the entire feature. It's a "must get" if you are able to afford it. The only downpart is its... More hefty price tag.”
