The GM Blitz Edition - Tournament Sized Chess Set

Features: This tournament-sized chess set "The GM Blitz Edition" in Staunton pattern has been specifically designed for tournament players. The set features a Tournament standard 3.75" King with a base diameter of 1.65 inches. Expertly weighted by our master artisans, its superb size proportioning from king to pawn makes this chess set an excellent choice for blitz play in chess tournaments/clubs or regular home and school play.

Weight: 1200 grams approx. (42.32 oz). Please note that the weight in the set is added manually, so the final weight can vary by plus or minus (±) 10%.

Materials: Dark chess pieces are exquisitely crafted in bud rosewood. Due to its rarity, bud rosewood is the primary choice of many chess enthusiasts. The opposing pieces are made from boxwood, which is traditionally used for the white side. It's easy to work with and shows off aesthetic detail.

The set comes with free extra queens for effortless pawn promotion. All chess pieces are expertly carved and appropriately weighted for a fantastic hand-feel and a very nice thud on the wooden chess board.

Design Details: King, Queens, Bishops, and Pawns feature unique collar rings and thick green felts, which precisely envelop the base for smooth contact and movement. The knights are well-crafted and represent the highest grade of carving skills from our Indian artisans.

Craftsmanship: What makes this chess set so unique is its knight, which is made from a single piece of wood with no joins. The carving is spectacular, taking a whole day to craft a single set. Pieces are meticulously handcrafted from the finest grade bud rosewood and polished by hand for a rich, long-lasting shine.

Uniformity of Pieces: The shapes of turned pieces are guided by metal profiles, ensuring all turned pieces, especially the pawns, are identical. Some variation may occur in hand-carved pieces like the knights.

Package Includes: 34 Chessmen (2 extra queens included). Chess board and storage box included in this sale.
