Description
Sheesham and natural boxwood, polished, sumptuous hand-carved Jaques-Chevalier, triple weighted, leather base, with box for the chess pieces.
It is a rather “push” variant, compared to the more traditional variants of the Staunton. This makes them give a pleasant feeling of novelty, but they are still very usable in a tournament game, maintaining the recognizability of each piece compared to the others and the “kinship” with the most classic versions of the Staunton.
All the pieces are well balanced, leaded, manageable, stable, comfortable.
King height : 4" / 100 mm
King base: 1.8" / 48mm

I purchased an unweighted, cheaper, plastic set earlier and this set is, without a doubt, far superior, the pieces are large, hefty, and they look and feel fantastic. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself, you won’t regret it.

The site was easy and informative. The set was exactly what we were looking for to use with our oversized cloth board. All the pieces nicely weighted and correct size. Everything from selection to shipping was just promised by this site. Thank you for ease and honesty on line.

I have two of these sets now and I love them. My family joined our local chess club and everyone who has played with this set also likes them. Great weight and size, they feel very substantial and do not tip over easily like some lightweight sets tend to do. I would purchase this item again. Completely satisfied.

Best value for your money. Large, magestic, heavy pieces. A real pleasure to play with. Well packaged and shipped.
