Set Features
A Full-Sized Eastern European-Inspired Design
These Leningrad chessmen offer a distinctive alternative to more conventional Victorian-style Staunton pieces. The design combines elegant vertical proportions with substantial bases, clearly differentiated crowns and one of the most recognisable knight profiles in Eastern European-inspired wooden chess. The warm acacia grain gives the darker army a natural, individual character, while the 4-inch king provides excellent presence on a suitably proportioned full-size board.
