This perfect blend of beauty and practicality meets and exceeds all World and U.S. Chess Federation requirements for tournament play.

The best players in the world are the most demanding, and this is the exact set they use!

Model No. 749R (red)

This unique combination includes a stunning Maplewood board and some of the finest handcarved wooden chess pieces in the world!

Model No. 748W (white)

The artisan-fashioned, inlaid Maplewood chessboard is tournament-sized and beautifully appointed with marquetry and veneers. Handcrafted in Spain, its fine wood is carefully selected for color, uniformity and overall quality. This selection process creates a chessboard and pieces that match perfectly, while maintaining form, function, and beauty. Fine varnish and a special, ultraviolet drying process are the final steps in creating a striking, high-gloss finish that is both glare-resistant and durable.

The exquisite set of boxwood, prized for its beauty and density, is made in India. Highly polished pieces are double-weighted for a heft you can really feel. Each chess piece is hand-turned on a lathe and hand-sanded by highly skilled Indian craftsmen. The pieces are then lacquered to a silky smooth finish in deep, rich colors to bring out the details and beauty of the natural wood. A weighted base prevents accidental tip-overs, while green felt protects and cushions the pieces and board.

The Pieces that Set the Standard In 1849, Nathaniel Cook realized the need for a standard set of chess pieces that could be used in tournaments throughout the world. In collaboration with his brother-in-law John Jaques of London (a noted ivory turner and businessman), he designed and produced a clean, functional pattern that could be manufactured at a reasonable cost. Cook and Jaques quickly secured the endorsement of Howard Staunton, the self-proclaimed world chess champion and noted Shakespearean scholar. Thus was born the Staunton Chessmen— a clean, elegant design that remains the standard for all serious, sanctioned chess competitions to this day. Nothing will enhance your chess-playing experience more than the feel of finely crafted Staunton chess pieces. The House of Staunton proudly offers these quality, heavily weighted Marshall Series plastic chessmen, crafted to replicate the exquisite design and proportions of the original Staunton chessmen. While this set pays homage to Staunton’s original work, it also marks the subtle evolution of the design, which has gradually taken place over more than a century. Set Includes: • 34 high-quality, plastic chessmen (includes an extra queen for each side) • Official tournament size • 4-fold, heavy-duty board • Drawstring canvas bag Model No. 940
