A complete Leningrad-style chess set featuring 3.75-inch chessmen, a 19-inch European-made mahogany sapele and maple inlaid veneer chessboard and a coordinating mahogany storage box.
Set Features
Refined Proportions and European Presentation
This complete chess set brings together the distinctive character of the Leningrad pattern and the traditional appearance of a European-made wooden chessboard. The 3.75-inch king provides excellent presence on the 19-inch playing surface, while the tall stems, broad bases and expressive knights give the chessmen their recognisable Eastern European identity. The mahogany sapele and maple squares provide clear playing contrast, and the matching mahogany box keeps all 34 chessmen protected when not in use.
