Qty is the total quantity per piece, black and white.
Each chess set ships with the regulation 32 pieces. Width is
the diameter of the widest part of the base, measured in inches, and is
accurate to ±5%. Note that all plastic MegaChess pieces are composed of
three screw-together parts, with the base part the same for all pieces.
Height is the distance from the base to the highest part of the
piece, measured in inches, and is accurate to ±5%.
Weight is the weight of each single piece, accurate to ±5%. Note
that by adding sand to the hollow base, you can add up to another 9 pounds to
each piece. |
|

We took our most popular seller, the plastic chess set with the
25" king, and designed an insert for all such chess sets to make them a foot
taller. This insert has the patent-pending Quick Connect Couplings®, making
for quick and tight assembly.

When planning a playing
area, consider a chess board with squares about 12 in across, making for a
chess board 8 ft on a side. The plastic chessboard
that we sell is an excellent match. Because these pieces are so impressive
large, you can even go to squares that are 16 in and even 24 in across for that
 Weighting the pieces for a more solid feel is as simple as
unscrewing the base, and filling the base with pea gravel. You can even fill
the insert, but most people don't even fill the base completely, which can hold
up to 9 lbs of gravel by itself.
To transport the entire chess set, plan on about 30 cubic feet and
90 pounds (if you haven't added sand to weight the bases).

inserts for just $349 for all 32 inserts.
