Origins and Name
The name "Токарь Теичъ" translates to "Turner Teich," where "Tokar" refers to a turner or lathe worker in Russian, highlighting the woodworking expertise that characterizes the set. "Teich" could either be a nod to a master craftsman or a traditional branding mark, signifying its association with a specific artisan or workshop lineage.
Design Features
The chess pieces in the Токарь Теичъ set are notable for their unique, tall, and slender designs, which are distinctly different from other Soviet style chess set patterns. The knights feature is more like a Staunton style, while the bishop has the miter cuts, never seen in any of the other Russian styles. The pawns and other pieces exhibit symmetrical elegance, with an emphasis on balance and playability.
The Indian Chess Company has collaborated with renowned chess collector Chess Praxis and has masterfully reproduced the Токарь Теичъ chess set in ebony and boxwood. The original research for Tsarist Staunton Chessmen has been done by Chuck Grau and Sergey Kovalenko and have beautifully written the piece on Chuck's website(check references).
These reproductions capture the set's iconic tall, slender design and intricate detailing, offering chess enthusiasts a timeless blend of historical elegance and modern luxury. Perfect for collectors and players alike, this set is a tribute to the enduring legacy of classic chess design.
