Chess Pieces "Fischer" | Staunton | 95 mm | Boxwood & Palisander

The "Fischer" Staunton chess piece set is a distinguished collection known for its unique design and exceptional craftsmanship. Ideal for both competitive play and collectors, this set offers superior playability, aesthetic appeal, and fine detail, making it a standout choice among chess enthusiasts.

Design and Craftsmanship

The "Fischer" set follows the traditional Staunton design but adds a touch of uniqueness, especially with its beautifully crafted knight. The knight is a masterpiece, featuring a lifelike horse head with a strikingly detailed face, upright posture, and solid body. The other pieces are precision-turned and hand-finished, giving them a refined and polished look. This meticulous craftsmanship makes the set not only functional but also a work of art, perfect for display and play.

Materials and Finish

Crafted from high-quality boxwood and palisander wood, the pieces in this set are both durable and visually appealing. Boxwood brings a smooth, light texture, while palisander provides a deep reddish tone and a unique grain pattern that adds richness and character to the set. These materials give the chess pieces a warm, luxurious appearance. Pairing the set with a mahogany or walnut chessboard enhances its visual depth and elegance.

Functionality

The "Fischer" chess pieces are thoughtfully weighted to ensure excellent balance and stability. Their low centre of gravity and felted bases provide a firmer stance and ensure smooth movement across the board. The weight and felt protect the chessboard while allowing for precise and controlled piece handling, making each move effortless and enjoyable. Additionally, extra queens are included to facilitate seamless pawn promotion, ensuring uninterrupted play during intense games.

Suitable for Tournaments

With a king height of 95 mm, the "Fischer" set meets all FIDE tournament standards, making it suitable for official competitive play. Its well-balanced proportions and superior craftsmanship ensure a professional playing experience. A chessboard with square sizes between 55 and 58 mm is recommended to properly showcase the pieces and maintain proportional harmony on the board.

Optimal Pairing

To highlight the beauty of the "Fischer" set, pairing it with a high-quality chessboard made of mahogany or walnut will bring out the rich tones of the palisander wood, creating an impressive and cohesive visual presentation.
