The "Stallion Knight" chess piece set is a popular Staunton design, notably distinguished by its determined knight.
This knight stands out with its upright posture and backward-angled earpieces, giving it an imposing presence. The hand-carved details also bestow upon the knight a combative and distinctive appearance, which is particularly appealing to chess piece collectors. The other pieces in the set have been crafted with equal dedication. The king boasts a proud, upward-reaching form, while the rook is adorned with simple and elegant battlements.
Careful attention has been paid to every detail in the crafting of these chess pieces. They have been turned, hand-carved, underlaid with felt, and weighted, ensuring not only their durability but also comfortable handling and stability on the chessboard. Chessboards made from dark or dark-brown woods are particularly harmonious in terms of colour coordination with these chess pieces.
The impressive kings of these chess pieces reach a height of 99 mm, meeting the requirements for tournament chess pieces. Therefore, the chess piece set is well-suited for competitions at the highest level or for use in chess clubs. Additional queens are also included in the set, enabling smooth pawn promotions without the need for replacement pieces.
For the optimal 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 not only displayed ideally, but it also creates a balanced and aesthetically pleasing overall appearance of the chess game.
