Imperial Chess Set with Boxwood Men and Black & Ash Board

• 4" King Height, 1.5" King Base, 2.2” Square Size, and 21” square x 0.5” deep Board Size
• Pieces are hand carved from boxwood for lasting quality
• Black or ebonized boxwood is boxwood that is stained black to create the appearance of ebony
• 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 black boxwood 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
• Exquisite detail of the knight, king, and queen gives this set a rich and elegant appearance
• Double weighted pieces contain lead weight roughly 2 times as heavy as the raw piece; this increases the quality and value of a chess set by giving the pieces the stability and the hefty feel they need for 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
• Teak case included for easy protection and storage of the chess pieces
• Black and ash wood board beautifully complements the light and dark wood pieces
• Rounded corners and edges of the chess board give it a sleek and attractive presence
• Black and white squares provide a striking contrast and give this set a classic look
• Inlaid stripe surrounds the squares, uniquely separating the frame from the playing area
• Beautiful grain pattern of the ash wood gives the board character and provides a superb backdrop for the pieces
• Packaged in WorldWise Import’s European style presentation box with individual slots to hold and protect the pieces
