This package includes our Zagreb Series Wood Grain Plastic Chess Pieces matched with our regulation-size Club Vinyl Green and Buff Rollup Chess Board. This chess set 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. Made with 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.
Our Club Vinyl Rollup board is pliable and duable and will rollup tightly for storage in a tournament bag and unroll flat when you're ready to play. This is a regulation-size board with 2.25" squares and measures 20" overall. This set delivers a tournament-ready combination of vintage elegance, durability, and functional playability. Whether for tournament play or home display, the Zagreb brings classic design and reliable performance to every game.
