The Zagreb Chess Set, famously used during the 1959 Candidates Tournament, is one of the most iconic chess set designs in history. Known for its distinctive and elegant Staunton-style pieces, it was crafted by the Croatian designer and artisan, George Keller. The set became particularly famous after being used in the high-profile tournament held in Bled, Zagreb, and Belgrade, which featured top players like Mikhail Tal and Tigran Petrosian. Its clean, functional design, with a notable attention to detail, has made it a collector’s favorite.
