Collection: Tournament Chess Pieces

This collection covers ebony, bud rosewood, sheesham and ebonized boxwood pieces, with king heights and board sizes suited to serious play rather than display. Several sets reproduce designs used in actual historical tournaments, handcrafted with the proportions and consistency competitive play calls for, rather than generic Staunton pieces made for casual use. Several sets are weighted with additional material inside the base for greater stability during play, though weighting varies from set to set. The turned pieces are produced for consistent proportions and profiles, while the knight is hand-carved and can show natural variation from one piece to another.

What "Tournament-Style" Actually Means

Tournament-style pieces are designed around the proportions, sizing and practical requirements players look for in serious games, rather than being made primarily as display pieces. On the Championship Series set, for example, the 3.75" king has a 1.41" base and is designed for a 50mm board. The set includes 34 pieces, with two additional queens for pawn promotion during play.

Individual products can differ in their dimensions, weighting and included accessories, so always check the product specifications before choosing a set for competitive play.

Named Reproductions in This Collection

Several sets in this collection reproduce specific tournament and historical chess designs rather than following a generic Staunton pattern. These include designs associated with the Sinquefield Cup, the 1959 Russian Zagreb Championship, the 1973 Philippines International Tournament and a French Chavet design from the 1990s, among others.

Availability changes as sets are added and sold, so check the current collection and individual product pages for the designs presently available.

Choosing Weight and Wood

Weight and wood serve different purposes when choosing chess pieces. Weighted sets add more mass to the base, giving the pieces a more planted feel when they are moved across the board. This can be particularly useful for players who handle their pieces frequently during long games.

Wood mainly affects the appearance, feel and price of the set. Ebony sits toward the higher end of this collection, while ebonized boxwood and sheesham provide different looks and price points while remaining well suited to regular play.

If you want similar Staunton proportions with more premium materials and larger collector-focused designs, explore our Luxury Chess Pieces. For a lower-priced option, Chess Pieces Under $200 includes similar Staunton designs.
