The "Stallion Knight" chess piece set is a popular Staunton design, distinguished primarily by its aggressive knight.
This knight makes a striking impression with its upright stance and backward-tilted earpieces, giving it a majestic appearance. The hand-carved details also lend the knight a combative and aggressive look, making it particularly appealing to chess piece collectors. The other pieces in the set are crafted with equal passion. The king features upward-swept shapes, and the rook has flat, elegant battlements.
All the chess pieces have been crafted from high-quality boxwood and acacia wood, with each piece receiving a high level of craftsmanship. The pieces are turned, hand-carved, underlaid with felt, and weighted, ensuring durability, ease of handling, and stability on the chessboard. Mahogany or walnut wood chessboards are the most suitable choices in terms of colour coordination with these chess pieces.
The king impressively reaches a height of 99 mm, meeting the requirements for tournament chess pieces. Therefore, these pieces can be easily used in tournaments or chess clubs. Additional queens are also included, enabling smooth pawn promotions without the need for replacement pieces.
To ensure the best possible gaming experience, it is recommended to use a chessboard with square sizes ranging from 55 to 58 mm. On such a chessboard, the chess pieces are displayed optimally, and the proportions between the pieces and the board are well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing.
