This chess set includes our Craftsman Series chess pieces matched with our Santos Rosewood Walnut and Maple Deluxe Chess Board. This set has become a popular model for players and collectors alike for its notable use in a number of prestigious chess tournaments in the U.S. including the2021 Sinquefield Cupin Saint Louis. Handcrafted by our skilled artisans, this elegant Staunton chess set features a beautifully sculpted knight with fine detail and a unique mane that is far different from other knights.The other pieces have traditional Staunton shapes and an elegant profile that together creates a cohesive design from pawn to king. These are genuine ebony and boxwood pieces with a traditional polished lacquer finish. The king is 3.75 tall with a base diameter of 1.6. The pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional balance and stability on the chess board and have green billiard cloth pads for a quiet soft cushion.

Made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, our Santos Rosewood and Maple Chess Board is perfect with these pieces. The rich warm colors of the rosewood range from a deep orange-brown to burgundy and every shade in between. The wood grain varies greatly producing unique patterns making each chess board individually unique. A triple pinstripe delimiter between the squares and frame gives the chess board an elegant look. The squares are 2.125" and the overall size of the board is 21.5" and a half inch thick. The chess board is sealed in a polyurethane matte finish that both protects and enhances the natural beauty of the wood. Made from the finest veneer available, the precise inlay work by the craftsmen of Rechapados Ferrer is simply unsurpassed!We include two extra queens for pawn promotion. Whether you are collector or looking for just one special chess set, the Craftsman blends beauty and functionality for display and play.
