Tournament Standard Pieces


Our Tournament Standard Chess Pieces are crafted to meet the exacting requirements of professional play, combining durability, precision, and classic design. Modelled on the traditional Staunton pattern, they provide perfect clarity and proportion, making them the preferred choice for clubs, schools, and serious tournament players around the world.

Each piece is carefully turned and hand-finished from quality hardwoods such as boxwood and ebonised or acacia wood. The pieces are double-weighted for optimal balance and felted to ensure smooth, stable movement across the board. This attention to detail not only enhances the playing experience but also ensures long-term resilience through regular use.

The proportions adhere to FIDE standards, with a 3.75-inch king and four queens included for pawn promotion. The clean lines and easily distinguishable silhouettes of the Staunton design make them ideal for competitive play, where clarity and comfort are essential.

Built for precision and performance, these pieces embody the enduring standard of tournament chess — elegant, reliable, and designed to perform flawlessly at every level of the game.
