Chess Pieces "Fischer" | Staunton | 95 mm | Boxwood & Ebonized Wood

The "Fischer" Staunton chess piece set offers a unique combination of elegant design and exceptional stability, making it a great option for both avid players and collectors. This set excels in playability while showcasing detailed craftsmanship, particularly in its standout knight design.

Design and Craftsmanship

The "Fischer" set features the traditional Staunton style but elevates the knight to a true centerpiece. The knight’s intricate design is a testament to master craftsmanship, with a lifelike representation of a horse’s head, upright posture, and robust form. Its detailed features capture attention and highlight the set’s decorative appeal. The remaining pieces are carefully turned and hand-finished, ensuring precise detailing and a polished appearance that makes this set both functional and visually impressive.

Materials and Finish

Crafted from high-quality boxwood and ebonized boxwood, the set has a striking contrast between the light and deep black tones. The ebonization process gives the black pieces a rich, impenetrable hue, adding a sleek and modern look to the set. These materials are durable and refined, making the set an excellent pairing with darker chessboards, especially those made from black or walnut wood, to further enhance its visual impact.

Functionality

Each chess piece in the "Fischer" set is weighted for optimal balance and stability. The felted bases protect the chessboard and allow for smooth, quiet movement during gameplay. With their lower center of gravity, these pieces have a firmer stance, ensuring they remain secure during intense matches. The set also includes extra queens, allowing for seamless pawn promotion and uninterrupted gameplay.

Suitable for Tournaments

With a king height of 95 mm, the "Fischer" set meets all FIDE tournament standards, making it suitable for both club and competitive play. The well-balanced proportions and high-quality craftsmanship provide an excellent gaming experience. A chessboard with a square size of 55 to 58 mm is recommended to display the pieces at their best and maintain ideal proportions during play.

Optimal Pairing

Pairing this set with a black or dark walnut chessboard will create a striking contrast and bring out the deep tones of the ebonized wood, ensuring the pieces are showcased in the best possible way.
