Reproduced 1972 Fischer-Spassky Staunton Chess Set 2.0: Chessbazaar proudly presents an improved version of the Fischer-Spassky set in Ebonized & Natural Boxwood.

The King stands at 3.79 inches (Tournament Size) with a 1.6-inch base. Wider bases and superb size proportioning exhibit true craftsmanship. Dark pieces are crafted in ebonized boxwood, while the opposing pieces are made of natural boxwood. All pieces are expertly carved, weighted for a solid hand feel, and feature green felt pads for smooth movement.

Weight: 1200 grams (42.32 oz) ± 10%.

History: The 1972 World Chess Championship, dubbed the "Match of the Century," saw Bobby Fischer defeat Boris Spassky 12½–8½. This reproduction is an accurate remake of the legendary Reykjavik chess set used in that historic match.

Design & Quality: Appropriately weighted for stability, each piece is meticulously carved and hand-polished for a rich shine. This masterpiece, made affordable by Chessbazaar, brings history and craftsmanship to every chess enthusiast.

In-Box items: Retail package consists of 34 chessmen, 2 extra queens included. Chess board NOT included in this sale.

Broken knight

Everything was perfect until I unwrapped the knights. One of the knights had been shipped with the base and head very loose and rattling, and which quickly became detached. Emailed support to get a replacement knight, but they told me to just fix it myself. Thanks Chess Bazaar, I'll buy somewhere else next time.

The product exceeded my expectations

This product exceeded my expectations. The lacquer finish is flawless. The packaging was excellent, each piece was individually wrapped and then packed into a foam padded box. The pieces are nicely weighted and comfortably fit on a board with 2 x 2 inch squares

Best Staunton Jaques Repro Cost-Quality Balance!

Do you ever wanted an Staunton Set, with wide bases and stable pieces, on a budget? This set is the best among many manufacturers. In my opinion Chessbazaar should also offer a version with darker felt and king-side stamping (like the one used in Reykjavik) and a ""London"" base stamp maybe?
