This traditional wood chess set includes our Standard Staunton Chess Pieces made from walnut stained and natural Schima superba matched with our Standard Walnut and Maple Notated Chess Board. The pieces feature the popular German Knight Staunton design with a 3.5" tall king making it perfect for casual games at home. Schima superba is an extremely hard, durable wood ensuring pieces withstand a lifetime of regular play. The pieces are weighted for balanced stability and have thick felt pads for a soft, satisfying feel on the chess board. Two extra queens are provided for promoting pawns.
Our Standard Walnut & Maple Chess Notated Chess Board contrasts warm brown tones with the light creamy color of natural maple for a classic, timeless wood combination. Algebraic notation around the border helps players record moves during the game. Crafted from quality veneer, it offers a clean, traditional style with a wide frame that accentuates the squares. With 1.75" squares and a 17.25" overall size, it fits comfortably on most tables and desks making it ideal for casual play, analysis, and study. A durable matte polyurethane finish seals and protects the surface while enhancing the natural colors of the wood.
