I had always wanted a fine set of HOS chessmen, and a short time before the holiday season I finally asked myself what I was waiting for. As soon as I saw this set I fell in love with it. The graceful curves of the King and Queen, the finely carved Knights, the broad sturdy bases and all the pieces nicely weighted. I was not quite prepared for how large they are, and the king and queen barely fit in the 2.25 inch squares of my current board, so I have ordered a 2.75 inch board to do them justice. I also got the fitted coffer to protect them when not in use, and a bag for my board. This set gets 5 stars from me.
