The "French Staunton" chess piece set impresses with its classic French chess design, which is often used in tournaments and club play for training purposes.
Each individual piece in this set embodies precision and craftsmanship, with the knight undoubtedly being the standout highlight. Its hand-carved details are characterized by clear structures and fine embellishments that perfectly capture not only the aesthetics but also the passion of chess. The other chess pieces are also masterpieces of craftsmanship. They have been precisely turned and meticulously hand-finished to ensure that every detail shines perfectly. When selecting a chessboard, woods such as mahogany or walnut, which harmonize particularly well with the boxwood and acacia wood of the chess pieces, are recommended.
Furthermore, all chess pieces are felted and additionally weighted, ensuring not only a pleasant touch but also protecting the playing surface and providing excellent grip. Quick chess moves under time pressure can be executed effortlessly.
With a king height of 99 mm, these chess pieces meet the requirements for tournaments and are, therefore, excellent for high-level competitions or private collections. Additionally, extra queens are included in the set to ensure that pawn promotions can be carried out without the need for replacement pieces.
To achieve a perfect balance of proportions between the chess pieces and the chessboard, the use of a chessboard with square sizes ranging from 55 to 58 mm is recommended. On such a chessboard, the pieces are not only optimally showcased but the overall appearance of the chess game becomes aesthetically appealing and harmonious.
