Description

1972 Staunton Reykjavik Chess Pieces Broadbase Series Ebonised 4 Inch

Introducing the Reykjavik Chess Pieces, also known as the Bobby Fischer, Jacob Knight, or Jacques Staunton Series. These remarkable chess pieces go by different names depending on where you shop, but the term “Reykjavik” pays homage to the famous 1972 chess tournament held in Iceland. It was in Reykjavik that two chess titans, Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky, battled for supremacy, with Fischer emerging as the triumphant grandmaster in a historic championship match. This particular final is etched in history as one of the finest chess showdowns ever witnessed.

The name “Jacques Staunton” is also closely associated with these pieces, as they were originally introduced by Jacques of London. Today, all Reykjavik chess pieces are faithful reproductions of this iconic design. Crafted by highly skilled artisans based in Amritsar, India, each piece is meticulously carved from solid blocks of wood, embodying the essence of quality and precision. Furthermore, these chess pieces are thoughtfully weighted to ensure a comfortable and stable gameplay experience. To protect your cherished chessboard, each piece is adorned with a soft green felt lining. Elevate your chess experience with these exceptional Reykjavik Chess Pieces, honouring chess history and superior craftsmanship.

A common question that confuses many, infact there is no official provider of staunton chess pieces.

Staunton chess pieces are all manufactured by skilled craftsmen in Amritsar, India.
