Not playable
It doesn't prevent illegal moves, doesn't detect checks nor checkmates. I don't think that can be called "Playable" ! On the top of that, if you delete it during a game, you will have to delete each piece one after the other.
Dont buy it! Never!
Dont buy it ever! You can move pieces everywhere on the bord, even on cross the fields. Totaly waste of L.
Waste of Money
All the pieces do is move to where you click on the board. No logic. Doesn't care who's turn it is. it's a dumb chess set. You can't even play against a computer.
A splendid chess set
This chess set has well sculpted pieces which are wonderfully textured. I have another chess set in SL and this one is much simpler for playing games with other people. It takes a little more effort to scale it if it is not the size you want but is still very simple to resize, and more accommodating since it is resized by editing instead of a resizing script. I wanted it smaller and the sculpted pieces LoD still hold up very well. My only wish is that it had a wood grain textures, am not very good with texturing sculpties and would rather pay for it so I can spend my time role-playing. A definite 5 stars.
Recap on my earlier bad review, the board has been updated and now has auto-moving pieces. I think the development of this thing is going well, I do expect further enhancements like automated removal when a piece takes over another piece, perhaps even automated rule checking. But for now I will enjoy the set!
