The "French Staunton" chess piece set exemplifies the classic French chess design, making it a popular choice for tournament play and club training. Crafted with precision and elegance, this set highlights the beauty of traditional Staunton style while offering functionality for high-level competition.

Design and Craftsmanship

The "French Staunton" set is defined by its meticulous craftsmanship, with each piece showcasing detailed artistry. The knight stands as the set's most striking feature, with hand-carved details that bring out its refined structure and character, symbolizing the passion of the game. The other pieces are equally impressive, precisely turned and hand-finished to perfection. This ensures that every detail is sharp, enhancing both the visual appeal and the overall chess-playing experience. A chessboard made from mahogany or walnut complements the natural tones of the boxwood and acacia wood used in the pieces.

Materials and Finish

The chess pieces are crafted from high-quality boxwood and acacia wood, giving them a warm, natural look. The combination of these woods creates a pleasing contrast between the light and dark pieces, while also ensuring durability. Each piece is weighted for balance and felted to protect the chessboard and allow for smooth movement. This design not only enhances the playing experience but also ensures the pieces are durable enough for long-term use, even during fast-paced games.

Functionality

The "French Staunton" set is designed for optimal handling and functionality. The added weight provides excellent grip and stability, allowing for quick and precise moves during competitive play. The felted bases ensure smooth movement across the board, while also protecting the chessboard from scratches and wear. This attention to detail in both design and function ensures that the set is as enjoyable to use as it is to look at.

Suitable for Tournaments

With a king height of 99 mm, the "French Staunton" set meets FIDE standards, making it suitable for official tournament play. Extra queens are included for both sides, allowing for seamless pawn promotion without needing substitute pieces, ensuring an uninterrupted game flow during high-level competition.

Optimal Pairing

To fully showcase the "French Staunton" set, pairing it with a chessboard featuring square sizes of 55 to 58 mm is recommended. A board made from mahogany or walnut will enhance the natural beauty of the boxwood and acacia pieces, creating a balanced and visually stunning display.
