I'm new to chess and this forum. I've purchased a few books for beginners but really need to obtain full chess set to proceed further.
As much as I'd like a high-quality vintage wooden set and board, it seems to me I'd be better served at this stage by buying a nice quality plastic set with the algebraic notation on the board for the ranks and files. I'm not seeking rock-bottom cheap pieces and a flimsy board. Nor do I think it wise for me to purchase an expensive set at this time. Any thoughts on this review recroompick.com/best-chess-sets/? Grandmaster Chess Set from The House of Staunton looks attractive to me.
Can the members provide some recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
