Special thanks to "Stephen Kong A.K.A. Chess Praxis" for his exceptional efforts in making this dream chess set a reality.

chessbazaar® is proud to introduce "Reproduced Vintage 1930 German Knubbel Chess Set", featuring the finest aspects of analysis set. This chess set features chessmen that are crafted with a boxwood only. The King height is 2.91(Analysis Size) inches and its base is a robust 1.4 inches. Wider base and superb size proportioning from the king to the pawn exhibits true intricate craftsmanship in all the pieces. Dark chess pieces are exquisitely crafted in Ebonized boxwood(also available in Stained Crimson ). All Chess pieces are expertly carved in India and slightly weighted for prodigious hand-feel and a very nice thud on the wooden chess board. They are meticulously handcrafted from the finest grade boxwood and polished by hand to give it a rich and long-lasting shine. The all-new Ebonized color process went under most rigorous quality inspections, ensuring that if you’re holding any Ebonized piece in your hands, it is completely free from the Black color peel. This chess set looks gorgeous and exquisitely striking even more in the lacquer finish.

Chess Pieces Weight: 700 grams approx (24.69 oz). Please note that the weight in the set is added manually so the final weight of the set can vary by plus or minus (±) 10%.

The opposing pieces are made of boxwood which is traditionally used for white side. It is one of the fairly easy woods to work with and shows off aesthetic detail. The set comes with free extra queens for effortless pawn promotion. Pieces have thick green felt, which precisely envelops the base of each chessmen for a traditional look & for smooth movement on the chess board. The Knights are well-reproduced and represent the highest grade of knight carving skills that our Indian artisans have to offer.

Craftsmanship: The lathe work on each chess piece is noteworthy, especially the unique lines on the rooks and marvellous miter cut on the bishops. All chess pieces have a wide basewhich adds another interesting dimension to the set. The carving and turning the quality of the knight are quite spectacular, look closely at the eyes, nostrils, teeth and, craftsmanship around the mane. Knights have a divergent style of carving on each side making even more captivating pieces from different angle views. The design of the other pieces is also highly outstanding that allows the set to truly stand out. Like the Russian/Soviet chess sets, the ball on the king is of opposite color

History: This Vintage 1930 German Knubbel chess set was produced somewhere around 90 years ago in Denmark. This chess set was beautiful in its functionality & that's why it became the favorite analysis set of Bent Larsen. The pieces were crafted with wide bases which did not tumble easily. The rooks were turned to look solid castles, the pawns were minimalist but refined, the bishops had a unique cut, the king was distinguished without a cross finial and the queen without a ball. This reproduction exemplifies a perfect combination of class and history.

Why Vintage 1930 German Knubbel Chess Set? The original 1930 German Knubbel Chess Set in playable condition is very very hard to find and may cost tens of thousands of dollars if available. Our Knubbel Replica is a humble try to bring this legendary design to life and to let chess enthusiasts experience the game with this beautiful chess set which was not possible hitherto.

Design & Quality: Appropriately weighted these pieces are very stable on board and a pleasure to touch and feel. Each piece is meticulously carved by hand to give it a rich and long-lasting shine. The design, quality, and craftsmanship of these chess pieces are unmatched and that is what made them favorite of the masses. The result of this hard work of these master craftsmen is a truly wonderful design and a masterpiece which any connoisseur will admire.

Uniformity of pieces: The shapes of turned pieces are guided by metal profiles and so all turned pieces are identical, especially the pawns. You can expect some variation where hand carving or cutting comes i.e. knights.

Felts: Thick green felt precisely envelops the base of each chessmen.

Weights: The set is slightly weighted and so they are a pleasure to hold and will last for years if maintained properly in a dry and clean place.
