Folding Chess Set with Sheesham & Boxwood Men and Inlaid Sheesham Board/Box
Chess Set Features
- 3.75" King Height, 1.5" King Base, 18” square x 1.5” deep Chest Size when open, and 18” high x 9” wide x 3” deep Chest Size when closed
- Pieces are hand carved from sheesham and boxwood for lasting quality
- Sheesham wood ranges in color from dark to light brown; it is easier to carve than other woods and is more readily available making it a popular choice for relatively inexpensive chess sets
- Boxwood ranges in color from a yellowish white to a yellowish brown, has almost no visible wood grain, and is often used to make the white pieces in wood chess sets
- Light boxwood and darker sheesham wood pieces give this set a beautiful contrast for display or for easy identification during play
- Traditional Staunton style of the pieces is a classic chess set design
- Single weighted pieces contain lead weight roughly as heavy as the raw piece; this gives them the hefty feel of a top-quality chess set, and provides stability and easy handling
- Bottoms are covered with pads so the pieces slide easily across the board without tipping over
- Double queens are included so that you have 4 queens total; since the queen is the most powerful piece, it is most often chosen to replace a pawn that has reached the other side of the board, and the extra queens are to use when that happens
- Sheesham and boxwood framed board and chest beautifully complements the wood pieces
- Board folds in two for convenient storage of the pieces and for portability
- Striped grain of the sheesham wood gives the board character and provides a nice backdrop for the pieces
- Inlaid stripe surrounds the squares, uniquely separating the frame from the playing area
- Packaged in WorldWise Import’s European style presentation box with individual slots to hold and protect the pieces
