Has any-one actually received any of these sets? The school where I work
sent off all the details ages ago but had nothing yet.

Every school will get TEN full size (4” king!) chess sets produced in virtually indestructible ABS – as shown
The board is over 46cm to a side. Unlike roll up mats or card playing surfaces these boards will always stay flat and are durable enough to stand many years of (ab)use in schools!
The pieces are stored in a plastic carton (supplied!) and each box of 10 sets contains basic play guides and information on how your school can participate in other aspects of the Chess for Schools project.
