Inspired by the celebrated 1959 Zagreb international tournament, these Russian Zagreb Chessmen capture the refined character of classic tournament play. Crafted from natural boxwood and ebonised boxwood, the 34-piece set combines graceful proportions, smooth contours and substantial weighting with the distinctive sculptural knight that defines the Zagreb pattern.
Set Features
The 1959 Zagreb Tournament Design
The Zagreb pattern is one of the most recognisable tournament chess designs of the mid-20th century. Associated with the celebrated international tournament held in Zagreb in 1959, its appeal comes from a distinctive combination of elegance, simplicity and practical playability.
Rather than relying on excessive ornamentation, the design uses clean silhouettes, carefully judged proportions and flowing contours. The result is a set that remains visually striking while retaining the clarity across the chessboard that serious players expect.
This Russian-crafted reproduction captures that character beautifully, making it equally appealing to regular players and collectors of classic tournament chess designs.
