Play like a Champion!
Play like a champion with the Championship Chess Set. An exact reproduction of the European Pattern Chessmen, it has been used at every major chess Championship match for the past ten years. The list of tournaments that have used these Chessmen includes The US Chess Championship, FIDE Olympiads, Linares, Dortmund, Wijk Aan Zee, and many more.
A full tournament-sized Chess set, it features a 3.75" King with a 1.5" diameter base. The Chess pieces are hand-carved by our master artisans and crafted from the highest-grade woods. The Chess pieces are heavily weighted with luxurious billiard cloth base pads and a beautiful finish.
As with our Chess sets, the Championship Series Chessmen exemplifies a perfect combination of distinct beauty and functionality. It has been designed to withstand the rigors of practical play while maintaining an elegance that has become the hallmark of a House of Staunton chess set. The design, quality, and craftsmanship of this set are UNMATCHED by any set of Chessmen in its price range. Nothing even comes close!
The Chessmen are new and each set consists of 34 Chessmen, including four Queens, a standard introduced by The House of Staunton in 1993.
