Testimonial: ... I believe my hands were shaking as I unwrapped each piece. - Jim Reames
The Official Staunton (tm) Classic Chess Set is a full size 4.5" king with the Official Staunton logo on the bottom of the King. This set is ONLY available from Official Staunton and our official resellers.
Absolutely the best quality craftsmanship possible for the discerning chess fan. Comparable to sets that cost thousands of dollars. Each piece is beautifully hand carved with precision and skill. Although it has undergone a makeover to improve durability and beauty, it maintains its roots in every respect while still being recognized throughout the world as the Official Staunton classic design. Full regulation size, perfect for tournaments and fun for casual play. The pieces are quadruple weighted for that solid feel. Comes with four Queens. Beautify your home or office with this timeless set.
Available in the finest hand selected bud rosewood or select genuine ebony and the highest quality boxwood materials. Traditionalists prefer ebony for the dark pieces, while the aesthetically minded prefer bud rosewood. Although commonly thought to be pure black, genuine ebony actually has a very subtle and beautiful wood grain. The dark, ruddy color of the high quality bud rosewood gives the look of an expensive chess set.
Aesthetically pleasing in every sense of the word, giving rise to a new standard of excellence. These chessmen will be the envy of all your opponents. You not only own it but you become a caretaker of it for future generations. We recommend a chess board with 2.25 inch squares.
