Jumbo Classic Chess Set with Sheesham & Boxwood Men and Hazelnut & Maple Board

Chess Set Features

• 6" King Height and 2.1" King Base, 2.6” Square Size, and 23.5” square x 0.5” deep Board Size
• Pieces are hand carved from sheesham wood 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
• Fine detail of the knight, king, and queen gives this set a rich appearance
• Pieces are gigantic in size which gives them the imposing appearance that is ideal in a chess match
• 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
• Hazelnut and maple framed board beautifully complements the light and dark wood pieces
• Beautiful grain pattern of the hazelnut wood gives the board character and provides a nice backdrop for the pieces
