The Zagreb Series WoodTek™ Chess Set in boxwood and rosewood matte finish captures the charm of classic wooden chessmen while offering the strength and easy care of modern materials. This iconic design rose to prominence in the late 1950s, debuting in the 1959 World Championship Candidates Tournament in Zagreb. Paired with a regulation-size black & buff vinyl rollup board, this set delivers a tournament-ready combination of vintage elegance, durability, and functional playability.
Made with our exclusive WoodTek™ wood-grain plastic and a smooth matte finish, each piece is heavily weighted for stability and fitted with thick green baize pads for a soft, quiet glide. The arched-neck knight with its turned-down head stands out instantly, while the king, queen, and bishop feature contrasting-color finials, a hallmark of Eastern European chess style. Whether for tournament play or home display, the Zagreb brings classic design and reliable performance to every game.
