How to Choose the Right Oversized Chess Set for Your School
Are you unsure which large chess set fits your needs? Start by thinking about how and where you’ll use it. Whether it's for a middle school gym, a school library, or a recess field, MegaChess has the right match. Consider the following:
-
Weather Conditions: If your school is located in a region with harsh weather, consider selecting sets made from UV-protected, waterproof materials, such as plastic.
-
Size and Space Needs: Make sure to measure the area where the chess set will go (smaller sets in classrooms or libraries, and larger sets in gyms or playgrounds).
-
Portability or Permanent Use: Portable sets typically come with mats or storage bags, whereas permanent setups are best suited for use with installed boards or tiles.
