ID 1356885677 Reykjavik Series Chess Set Burnt Boxwood Pieces with Mahogany & Maple Molded Edge Chess Board - 375" King
This luxurious handcrafted chess set includes our Reykjavik Series with burnt boxwood pieces matched with our Mahogany and Maple Molded Edge Chess Board. This chess set is the same one used by the legendary American Grandmaster Bobby Fischer when he beat reigning world champion and Grandmaster Boris Spassky in the 1972 World Chess Championship in Reykjavik, Iceland. These handsome pieces have traditional Staunton features and are a favorite for chess players wanting a set that will stand up to the rigor of frequent use. These are boxwood pieces with a unique decorative design carved into each piece and a high gloss lacquer finish. The pieces are heavily weighted for superior balance and stability on the chess board. The king is 3.75" tall and has a base diameter of 1.625", the perfect size for tournament chess games. Thick green billiard cloth pads let the pieces slide smoothly across the chess board and a quite soft feel when sitting down. We include two extra queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is and where it came from. Our Mahogany and Maple Molded Edge Chess Board from Rechapados Ferrer combines classic design with elegant features to create an eye-catching battlefield for your chess game. This is an inlaid chess board handcrafted from high quality mahogany and maple veneer and sealed with a polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the beauty of the wood. A wide black delimiter accentuates the playing field and enhances the rich color of the mahogany while the black stained molded edge highlights the entire board. The squares are 2" and the footprint of the board is 19.75" square. Four felt pads on the bottom will protect whatever furniture the board sets on.Chess Set Specifications & Features: Includes 34 Pieces with 2 Extra Queens for Pawn Promotion; Burnt Boxwood; High Gloss Lacquer Finish; King Height: 3.75"; King Base: 1.625"; King Weight: 2.6 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 46 Ounces; Green Baize Pads; Chess Board: Material: Walnut & Maple Veneers over Wood Composite; Matte Polyurethane Finish; Square Size: 2"; Dimensions: 19.5" x 19.5" x .5"; Felt Pads on the Bottom; Made in Spain by Rechapados Ferrer;
