Our Deluxe Old Club Staunton chess set is an ageless classic that for many years has been a favorite with players for its distinguished knight and traditional Staunton design. Often referred to as the Reykjavik, the Deluxe Old Club is well recognized and has been used on countless chess book covers and other chess art. Handcrafted by our highly skilled artisans, pieces are made from East Indian rosewood and boxwood. The rosewood pieces have a rich brown-burgundy color with dark brown streaks running through the grain while the boxwood has the perfect light beige-amber color. This is the perfect tournament size set with a 3.75 tall king. The pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional balance and stability while thick green baize pads allow the pieces to slide smoothly across the chess board. We include 2 extra queens for pawn promotion.Chess Set Specifications & Features: Includes 34 Pieces with 2 Extra Queens for Pawn Promotion (Does Not Include Chess Board); Wood: Rosewood & Boxwood; Finish: Traditional Polished Lacquer; King Height: 3.75; King Base: 1.625; King Weight: 2.5 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 56 Ounces; Green Baize Pads; Recommended Chess Board Size: 2.125 - 2.25 Squares;
