THIS ITEM IS IN STOCK!! 


The House of Staunton is proud to offer the The Capablanca Chess Edition - Reykjavik II Chess Set - 3.75 inch King. A full tournament-sized Chess set, it features a 3.75" King with a 1.6" diameter base. The Chess pieces are hand carved by our master artisans and crafted out of the highest grade woods. The Chess pieces are heavily weighted with luxurious billiard cloth base pads and a beautiful finish. The design of the Reykjavik II Chess set is an exact reproduction of the Chess set used by the legendary American Grandmaster Bobby Fischer when he won the 1972 World Chess Championship against the reigning World Champion Grandmaster Boris Spassky in Reykjavik, Iceland.

The Chess set has been designed to withstand years of use (and abuse), as it lacks many of the ornate details commonly found on Chess Sets that can be susceptible to damage in the heat of battle. For example, the Chess set features reinforced Pawn collars and oversized Rook ramparts for unmatched durability. The Reykjavik II Series Chess set is ideal for those that are interested in both the historical importance of the game of Chess, as well as those looking for an attractive Chess set that is both economical and durable.

As with all of our Chess sets, the Capablanca Chess Edition - Reykjavik II 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 which has become the hallmark of a House of Staunton chess set. The design, quality and craftsmanship of this set is UNMATCHED by any set of Chessmen in its price range. Nothing even comes close!

The Chessmen are new and each set consists of 42 Chessmen, including four Queens, a standard that was introduced by The House of Staunton over 10 years ago.

NOTE - This Chess Set includes the Standard 34 Pieces of the Reykjavik II plus 2 Arch-Bishops, 2 Chancellors and 4 Pawns

    Really nice chess set for chess variants

    It seems that chess pieces for Capablanca chess and similar chess games are hard to find. It is nice that House of Staunton has a complete set that is of good quality, in a nice design. As someone else has pointed out, it is packaged as a standard Reykjavik ebonized set with chancellors, archbishops, and extra pawns added into the top portion of the box. But in the set I received, I cannot see any difference between the standard pieces and the additional pieces. If you can view the photo that I included with this review, there is one dark pawn and one light pawn from the regular package, as well as one dark pawn and one light pawn from the extra pieces that were added to the box. Can you tell which ones are which?
