Step into a legacy of chess excellence with the Zagreb Series 3.25-inch Staunton chess set, a slightly more compact version of the legendary design first showcased at the 1959 World Championship Candidates Match in Zagreb. Perfectly balancing tradition and practicality, this set is ideal for players who want tournament-quality craftsmanship in a space-friendly size.

Each piece is carefully handcrafted from solid ebonized and natural boxwood, featuring a deep ebony-black finish that closely mimics genuine ebony—giving you the look of luxurious ebony without the premium price tag. This striking contrast is accentuated by the distinct finials on the king, queen, and bishop, which are crafted in the opposite color—a signature touch of Eastern European chess artistry. The 3.25-inch king, with a stable 1.375-inch base, is weighted at 1.8 ounces to ensure excellent balance and stability during play.

The uniquely shaped knight, with its arched neck and gracefully turned-down head, adds character and distinction to the set. Thick green baize pads protect your chessboard while allowing each piece to glide smoothly and quietly during intense matches or casual games alike.

Every Zagreb set includes two extra queens for easy pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity to confirm the origins, materials, and craftsmanship of your chess set. Combining heritage and superior design, the Zagreb Series 3.25-inch set is a prized choice for dedicated players and collectors.

Why Choose the Zagreb Series 3.25"?

    Chess pieces

    Very nice set. Polished and shiny, weighted well, felt bottoms slide smoothly. I'm not a fan of the bishop design, but I new that when I bought it.

    Goes very nicely with a walnut and maple board

    I use this set with a 2" walnut and maple board. I really like these pieces, they feel nice and substantial. The ebony is light, you can see a bit of wood grain which is nice. My pieces were fine and had a nice even finish.

    A good set, although a portion of the horizontal cross atop the Black King was broken off.

    Posted by Samuel Naylor, VI on 4th Dec 2017

    Order 19524. One-half the horizontal cross on the Black King was broken off. It is a small part of the horizontal portion of the cross---about 1/16" in size. The set was packed in two separate, cellophane bags, inside a small cardboard box, which itself was inside a larger cardboard box with padding materials to protect the chess set. The set is a Yugoslavia Staunton Chess Set in Ebonized Boxwood & Boxwood; a 3.25" King. Item #30897 I emailed Customer Service Friday, December 1, 2017 to see what solution there is to improve the broken Cross on the King. I have purchased 2 previous such chess sets from The Chess Store, and they are working very well.
