Tiger Ebony Chess Set 20 Inch With Weighted Sheesham Staunton Reykjavik Chess Pieces 3.75 Inch
The Reykjavik Staunton Chess Series, also known as the Bobby Fischer, Jacob Knight, or Jacques Staunton Series, encompasses a variety of names depending on the chess store you frequent. The term “Reykjavik series” owes its origin to the renowned 1972 Iceland chess tournament, where chess legends Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky battled for supremacy, with Fischer emerging victorious in a historic final. The Jacques Staunton name hails from Jacques of London, who first introduced this distinctive set of chess pieces, now widely replicated as Staunton chess pieces. Crafted by skilled artisans in Amritsar, India, each piece is meticulously carved from solid wood blocks and expertly weighted for stability during gameplay. Adorned with a soft green felt layer, these pieces ensure the protection of your chess board. The board itself features darker Tiger Ebony squares contrasted with lighter Maple squares, offering both aesthetic appeal and durability. Made in Spain, this high-quality board guarantees years of enjoyment. Additionally, we provide a beautifully veneered chess piece storage box crafted from walnut wood, spacious enough to accommodate pieces ranging from 3 to 4 inches. Lined with black velvet felt and padded for extra protection, this storage box ensures the safety and preservation of your cherished chess pieces.
