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 (Gardenia Latifolia), and the opposing pieces are Boxwood (Gardenia Latifolia) (also in Sheesham Wood (Dalbergia Sissoo)). 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.
