Special Edition Reproduced Vintage 1950's Circa Bohemia Staunton Series German Chess Pieces in Bud Rosewood and Boxwood - 3.89" King

This tournament-sized chess set "The 1950's Bohemia Staunton Series" in Staunton pattern has been specifically designed for tournament/serious players. This is an impeccable reproduction featuring the magnificently robust and so-called "dragon" Knights.

Weight: 900 grams approx. (31.74 oz). Please note that the weight in the set is added manually, so the final weight of the set can vary by plus or minus (±) 10%.

Dark chess pieces are made of Bud Rosewood, while the opposing pieces are made of boxwood, which is traditionally used for the white side. Boxwood is easy to work with and showcases aesthetic detail beautifully. The set includes free extra queens for effortless pawn promotion.

Craftsmanship: The lathe work on each chess piece is noteworthy, especially the unique collar rings and Dubrovnik Chess Set-like bishops. All chess pieces have a wide base, adding another interesting dimension to the set. The carving and craftsmanship around the mane of the knight are quite spectacular, and the knight's design is somewhat similar to our Reproduced Romanian-Hungarian National Tournament Chess Set. The design of the other pieces is also highly outstanding, allowing the set to truly stand out. Pieces are meticulously handcrafted from the finest grade wood and polished by hand to give them a rich and long-lasting shine.

History: This chess set is reproduced in collaboration with "Michael Ladzinski", one of the greatest chess collectors in the chess world. The original chess sets made by Bohemia are very rare and sell for thousands of dollars, which not every chess collector can afford.

Uniformity of Pieces: The shapes of turned pieces are guided by metal profiles, ensuring all turned pieces are identical, especially the pawns. Some variation may occur in hand-carved pieces like the knights.

Just like the German Knight Tournament Chess Set, these grandeur chess pieces are undoubtedly an excellent choice for blitz chess tournaments. A matching chessboard for these pieces is available in our web store at an extra cost.

Package Includes: 34 Chessmen (2 extra queens included). Chess Board NOT included.
