Introducing the Macassar Chess Set, a distinguished 20-inch wooden chess board paired with Weighted Sheesham Staunton Reykjavik Chess Pieces measuring 3.75 inches. This Reykjavik Staunton Chess Series, also known as the Bobby Fischer or Jacob Knight Series, is named after the infamous 1972 Iceland tournament where Bobby Fischer triumphed over Boris Spassky in a historic championship. These chess pieces, sometimes referred to as the Jacques Staunton Series, are reproductions of the original design introduced by Jacques of London. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Amritsar, India, each piece is meticulously carved from solid blocks of wood and heavily weighted for stability during play. Layered with soft green felt to protect your chess board, these pieces ensure a comfortable gaming experience. The chess board features inlaid squares with Macassar for the darker squares and Maple for the lighter ones, providing an exquisite playing surface. Made with precision in Spain, this high-quality board guarantees years of enjoyment. Additionally, the set includes a beautifully veneered walnut chess piece storage box, generously sized to accommodate pieces ranging from 3 inches to 4 inches.
