There are few if any players who do not know that Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky contested one of the most widely followed world title matches in history in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1972. What is not so well known, however, is that they played on one of the finest chess sets ever produced by the famous Staunton craftsmen, John Jaques & Son of London.

The House of Staunton now offers a replica of this historically important set. This new Reykjavik II Series is significantly larger and heavier than the original Reykjavik '72 Series. We also have this version in three editions: One ebonized, one rosewood and one ebony. The crowning touch must certainly be that each set comes with four queens, two black and two white. No more upside-down rooks when promoting to a second queen. The sets are perfectly weighted, with the Reykjavik II King being 3¾" tall with a 1¾" diameter base. The set is housed in a genuine black (or burgundy for the rosewood set) lined and cushioned leatherette case.

The Reykjavik II Series is available in the following configurations:

    King Base Weight   Chess Board
Square Size		  
Reykjavik II Blood Rosewood   3.75" 1.7" 49 oz.   2.25-2.375"
Reykjavik II Ebony   3.75" 1.7" 49 oz.   2.25-2.375"
Reykjavik II Ebonized (4Q)   3.75" 1.7" 46 oz.   2.25-2.375"
Reykjavik II Rosewood (4Q)   3.75" 1.7" 48 oz.   2.25-2.375"
