Monarch Staunton Chess Set with Bud Rosewood & Boxwood Men and Solid Rosewood & Maple Board

Chess Set Features

4" King Height, 1.6" King Base, 2.2” Square Size, and 21” square x 1” deep Board Size
Pieces are hand carved from bud rosewood and boxwood for lasting quality
Bud rosewood is extremely desirable because it is the most colorful wood used for making chess pieces and it is increasingly rare
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 bud rosewood 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
Triple weighted pieces contain lead weight roughly 3 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 extremely 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
Solid rosewood and maple board beautifully complements the pieces
Rounded corners and edges of the chess board give it a sleek and attractive presence
Extra thick board is very imposing
Striped grain of the rosewood on the board adds character and provides a superb backdrop for the pieces
Maple inlaid stripe surrounds the squares, separating the frame from the playing area
