Walnut Chess Set 20 Inch With Weighted Ebonised Staunton Reykjavik Chess Pieces 3.75 Inch

The Reykjavik Staunton Chess Series, also known as the Bobby Fischer, Jacob Knight, or Jacques Staunton Series, boasts various names depending on the chess store you visit. The term “Reykjavik series” is often associated with this set due to the renowned 1972 Iceland chess tournament featuring Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky, with Fischer emerging victorious, marking it as one of the most memorable finals in history. The Jacques Staunton name is particularly renowned, as Jacques of London first introduced these pieces, now reproduced faithfully as Staunton chess pieces. Crafted by skilled artisans in Amritsar, India, each piece is meticulously carved from solid wood blocks, ensuring durability and stability, with added weight for comfortable gameplay. The pieces are also lined with soft green felt to protect your chessboard. The chessboard itself features a wooden veneer with inlaid squares, combining Walnut for the darker squares and Maple for the lighter ones, providing both aesthetic appeal and durability. Made in Spain, this high-quality board promises years of enjoyment. Additionally, the set includes a beautifully crafted mahogany wood storage box, padded and coated in black velvet felt, spacious enough to accommodate pieces ranging from 3 to 4 inches, ensuring your chess pieces remain safe and protected when not in use.
