Features: This tournament-sized chess set, "The 1950's Bohemia Staunton Series," is designed for serious players, featuring a 3.89" King with a 1.45" base. Expertly weighted, it is perfect for blitz tournaments, club, or home play, with robust "dragon" Knights.
Weight: 900g approx. (±10%).
Material: Dark pieces are ebonized boxwood, and the opposing pieces are boxwood (also in Sheesham). Includes extra queens, green felt bases, and finely carved knights.
Craftsmanship: Unique collar rings, wide bases, and exquisite knight carving. Inspired by the Dubrovnik Chess Set and Romanian-Hungarian National Tournament Chess Set. Handcrafted and polished for lasting shine.
History: Reproduced in collaboration with "Michael Ladzinski." The 1950s Bohemia German set was famous for its "dragon" Knights. A later version with "chicken head" Knights was used at the 1970 Siegen Olympiad, played by Bobby Fischer against Boris Spassky.
Uniformity: Turned pieces are identical, while knights may have slight variations due to hand-carving.
Like the German Knight Tournament Chess Set, these pieces are ideal for blitz tournaments. Matching chess boards available at Shop Here.
Package Includes : 34 Chessmen(2 extra queens included). Chess Board NOT included in this sale.
Disclaimer: Product color may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings.
