Customer Review: WHAT A GREAT GIFT!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I got Omega Chess as a birthday gift for my nephews (10 and 12 years old, 1 day apart) and they just LOVE IT!!! I knew they played chess every now and then with their friends and their dad, so on top of the `fun' gifts I had gotten them, as the responsible aunt that I am, I also wanted to get them a really nice chess set that would keep them interested in more than just computer games. That's how I found Omega Chess. I am not a seasoned player, but the new pieces and larger board at least promised a dramatic increase in the number of combinations and so I gave it a shot! I couldn't be happier with the response it got!

Any intelligent and challenging game that gets kids away from the TV and their computer screens and gets them and their friends all fired up has my vote and five full stars!!! To see them this excited and happy while playing a game that hones their analytical skills and constantly puts their intelligence to work, is a gift in itself! As I said before, I don't feel I have enough knowledge to provide an in depth comparison between traditional chess and Omega Chess, but, to be honest, does it really matter? I say this because I know there are traditionalists out there who look down on any chess variant. And I'm sure some variants are good while others are quite bad, but, from a broader point of view though, I think there's always room for a new game in the world and if this one can breath new life into the world of chess and keep it going a little longer, more power to it!

Get it for yourself if you love chess or give it as a gift to someone who does - either way this quality product (I really liked this set compared to others that I've seen) is worth every penny!
