This special chess set includes Zagreb with black and aged ivory pieces matched with our Macassar Ebony and Maple Floppy Mouse Pad Chess Board. Our Zagreb Plastic Chess Set with Black and Aged Ivory Pieces offers players a unique design transcending the ordinary while capturing a timeless piece of chess history. This design became prominent in the 1950’s when it was first used in the World Championship Candidates Match held in Zagreb in 1959. This is a 34-piece set that includes two extra queens for pawn promotion. Ideal for tournament games, the king is 3.75” tall and has a base diameter of 1.625”. The plastic pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board. Thick green baize pads on the bottom create a soft cushion and allow the pieces to slide smoothly across the chess board. The uniquely shaped knight with its arched neck and turned down head is what distinguishes this chess set from others. As is often found on eastern European sets, the king, queen, and bishop finials are made in the opposite color of the main body. Enjoy your chess games with the timeless Zagreb!
Our Macassar and Maple Floppy Chess Board combines flexibility with the attractiveness of a wooden chess board. You can roll it up and even fold it and this chess board will lie perfectly flat the second you lay it down. The top surface is covered with a durable fabric with a no-shine finish that makes it the perfect surface for playing chess. This is a regulation size chess board with 2.25" squares and measures 20" overall. Alpha-numeric notation around the border helps players record moves during the game.
