Weight: 1010 grams(Black) (35.62 oz). Manually added weight may vary by ±10%.
Boxwood is traditionally used for the white side, easy to work with, and aesthetically detailed. Comes with extra queens for effortless promotion. Thick green felt ensures smooth movement and a cushioned feel. Knights showcase top-tier carving skills.
History: Designed by Chavet in the early 90s, used in the 1990 World Chess Championship (Lyon). One of the finest Staunton-style sets.
Craftsmanship: The knight is a single-piece carving. Inspired by our German Knight Tournament Series. Lathe work, collar rings, and curves are noteworthy. 4 cuts in the rook's turrets, wide-base pawns. Handcrafted in India, polished for a rich shine. Comparable to $500+ sets.
