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 stained crimson boxwood also available in Ebonized boxwood . 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 stained crimson color process went under most rigorous quality inspections, ensuring that if you’re holding any crimson piece in your hands, it is completely free from the red 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.
