1972 Ebonised Reykjavik Broadbase Staunton Chess Pieces 3.75 Inch
The Reykjavik Staunton Chess Series, alternatively known as the Bobby Fischer, Jacob Knight, or Jacques Staunton Series, adopts different names depending on the chess store you visit. The term “Reykjavik series” draws inspiration from the infamous chess tournament held in 1972 in Iceland. This tournament witnessed a historic match between chess masters Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky, with Fischer emerging as the victor in the final championship—an event hailed as one of the best in chess history. The Jacques Staunton name is associated with this set as it was initially introduced by Jacques of London. Today, these Staunton chess pieces are reproductions of the classic design, meticulously crafted by highly skilled artisans based in Amritsar, India. Each piece is carved from solid blocks of wood, ensuring durability and stability. The pieces are heavily weighted, offering a comfortable and stable chess-playing experience. Additionally, a layer of soft green felt on each piece protects your chess board from any potential damage.
