A Classic Tournament-Sized Chess Set
For players who prefer a substantial chess set with the proportions and presence associated with serious play, this combination brings together traditional Staunton-style chessmen and a generously sized 20-inch Anegre chess board.
The 3.75-inch king gives the pieces an impressive presence without becoming cumbersome during play. Each chessman is weighted to provide greater stability and a satisfying feel in the hand, while the Baize felted bases allow the pieces to move smoothly across the playing surface.
