Chess Pieces "Supreme" | Staunton | 95 mm | Boxwood & Ebonized Wood

The "Supreme" Staunton chess pieces are highly sought after by both chess players and collectors and enjoy significant popularity.

A particularly striking feature of this chess piece set is undoubtedly its knight, which exudes a sense of aggression with its upright posture and forward-facing ears. This captivating characteristic makes it an expressive piece that shines in both chess games and chess collections. The other chess pieces in this set are no less elegant and unique than the knight. They possess proud and sleek forms that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also provide comfortable handling and smooth movement across the chessboard.

High-quality materials were used in the production of these chess pieces. The natural colour of boxwood imparts its distinctive appearance to the white pieces, while the deep black pieces are crafted from ebonized wood. Each individual chess piece was meticulously carved or turned and then underlaid with felt to protect the chessboard. Additional weights ensure optimal balance and a comfortable feel during play.

The kings in this set have a height of 95 mm, conforming to the established standards for tournament chess pieces. These pieces are, therefore, well-suited for club play or tournament use, whether at the national or international level. Additional queens are included to facilitate smooth pawn promotion without the need for replacement pieces to distract the players.

To visually showcase the chess pieces to their best advantage, it is recommended to use a chessboard with square sizes of 55 - 58 mm. On such a chessboard, the pieces can display their full splendour, and the harmonious proportions between the chess pieces and the chessboard add an additional aesthetic dimension to the game.
