Description

With the "Deluxe" chess pieces the gap between luxury at a modest price is bridged. Well proportioned pieces in highly adorable rosewood and boxwood of the highest quality are presented with those chess figures and make for your perfect companion for your games.

The knight is characterised by its bold lines and a friendly looking facial expression. Particular attention deserves the mane which is crafted in fine details and so is the king's crown. At first the pawns might look pretty standard but their slightly over-proportioned heads make a statement on the board and your line of pawns will be taken as a more serious defence. They are also superbly balanced and you might be more tempted than ever to push the pawn towards enemy territory instead of letting the more powerful pieces engage in battle. Special mention of the bishop should be made as well which portrays opulent lines and a weight of around 50g – en par with the Queens!

Now as for the metrics of this fantastic set, we find a king height of 3.75" (ca. 95mm) and weights of 57g (white) and 61g (black). With a base diameter of 1.6" (41mm) a board with a square size of at least 2" is needed, preferably slightly larger. As is standard with pieces in this price range, they are all double-weighted and are protected with a green felt on their underside to allow for easy sliding over the board and avoiding scratches. To come back to the pawns, they bring a proud weight of around 25g on the scale and are very well balanced; it is nearly impossible to accidentally knock them down and can be tilted by over 45° without toppling over.

For everyone looking for affordable chess pieces crafted from exotic and sumptuous rosewood, the Deluxe makes your dream come true. Being made from rosewood can even be seen as an investment as its price is rising fast. With the finely harmonised proportions of the pieces and excellent balance, they double the fun in any chess game. A great choice for every chess enthusiast or a collector of high-quality handmade chess sets.
