Hi Chess Family!
I want to show you some great items that I often use for Teaching.
Tournament - Single Weighted Set
A set like this is "Light" for rough play and Blitz chess tournaments. You have here the minimum that any chess player really needs to get started playing in USCF Tournaments.
The Pros: Able to take a good beating from kids!
The Cons: Frequent piece slamming can cause the weights to come out from the bottom of the pieces; you'd have to super-glue them back in.
