To commemorate that classic struggle, The House of Staunton is proud to offer the Zagreb '59 Series Chessmen crafted from premium Boxwood & Red Sandalwood. It is a stunningly chess accurate reproduction of one of the most popular chess sets used in the major International tournaments during the 1950s and 1960s. We have taken the liberty of making some minor modifications, such as replacing the ball finial atop the King with a more traditional cross to conform to modern Western tournament praxis.

This full-tournament sized set features a 4.0" King, weighs an impressive 52 ounces and includes 4 Queens. The design and feel of these Chessmen make them ideal for both Tournament and Rapid Play (Blitz) Chess. It is designed to withstand the rigors of practical play while maintaining the elegance that has become the hallmark of all House of Staunton Chessmen. 

The Chessmen are new and come housed in a House of Staunton Mahogany box which is lined in green billiard cloth, divided and features brass quadrant hinges.  Each set consists of 34 Chessmen (including the two additional Queens.)

The board is a House of Staunton Standard Traditional Redwood Gloss wooden Chessboard with 2.25" squares. This veneered Chessboard is 0.5" Thick and features a gloss finish.
