Inspired by the legendary 1959 Zagreb World Chess Championship, these Russian Zagreb Chessmen capture the refined elegance of tournament play. Each piece is meticulously crafted from ebonized boxwood and boxwood, featuring graceful proportions and smooth contours—no sharp edges, only precision.

The knight commands particular distinction with its sculptural profile. Weighing approx 2.3 lbs and scaled for boards with 50–55 mm squares, this set of 34 pieces (including two extra queens) delivers both aesthetic beauty and practical playability for serious players and collectors alike.
