This elegant chess set includes our burnt boxwood version of our Dubrovnik Championship Series chess set matched with our Black and Ash Burl Chess Board. This wonderful chess set is an exact replica of the one used in 1970s-era Dubrovnik Chess Olympiad in Siegen, West Germany. This wonderful Staunton pattern was made popular by the legendary Bobby Fischer, who was often photographed playing with his own set. Pieces are made from boxwood that is burnt and then a hand carved design is added to each piece creating a unique and distinguishable pattern. This is a tournament-sized set that features a 3.875 King with a 1.625 diameter base. The chess pieces are heavily weighted have thick green baize pads for a soft feel on chess board.
