Tournament chess set is for lifetime. Pieces from solid hornbeam are classically Staunton in design, large, heavy and beautifully hand carved and hand turned. They are polished using only natural waxes and polishes and have additional weighting added to their bases.
Beautifully complimented by the tournament specification mahogany and sycamore wood chess board at 20 inches this chess set has an insert tray for the chess pieces storage inside. Outstanding value that doesn't cut back on quality and fine craftsmanship, the highlight of our chess sets collection.

The pieces all feel wonderful in the hand, were delivered promptly, and came in a convenient box for storage.

Bought this as a gift. The little wooden pieces are are intricately handcrafted. Love the traditional look and the richness in colour. Only downside I would say is that it would have been useful if there were spare Chess pieces (to use for kings) Other than that it’s great.
Sarah Zviser –
Very well built. Only concern is that after letting kids play the tip of the Kings came out and need gluing

Being interested in chess, I wanted to buy my first chess board. When I opened the package I was rather surprised, the chess board was much larger than I thought it was. The wood looks incredibly nice, the pieces are weighted as well, they feel very sturdy. Very professional set.
