This complete chess set package includes the Queen's Gambit Final Game Chess Pieces, our Black & Ash Burl High Gloss Chess Board, and our Classic Black Chess Box. Inspired by the Netflix series, The Queen's Gambit, these are the same pieces used in the final game in which Beth beat Vasily Borgov in the 1968 Moscow Invitational Chess Tournament (watch the YouTube video clip above). The pieces are an old Latvian model from the Soviet era, and we have carefully reproduced each piece. These are ebonized and natural boxwood pieces with a semi-gloss lacquer finish for a rich luster. The king is four inches tall with a base diameter of 1.625” and are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board. We include two extra queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the set is, where it came from, the type of wood and when it was made.
Our Black and Ash Burl High Gloss Deluxe Chess Board is made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain. This is an inlaid chess board made from black poplar and ash burl veneer and finished with a glass-like high gloss polyurethane that both enhances and protects the beauty of the wood. A pinstripe delimiter accentuates the squares and an extra-wide frame adds an elegant look to the board. The precision of the inlay work by the Rechapados Ferrer craftsmen is unmatched. The squares are 2.125" and the chess board measures 21.5" overall and has felt pads on the bottom.
Our Classic Black Chess Piece Box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box has a high gloss black piano finish and the interior is lined with a thick green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. We used high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. We include 2 keys in case one ever gets lost. Whether you are a collector or looking for one special chess set, the nostalgia the Cambridge Springs invokes will add enjoyment to every game you play.
