The "Grace" Staunton chess piece set is a perfect blend of beauty and functionality, offering a user-friendly design for both beginners and experienced players. Its elegant appearance, coupled with precise craftsmanship, makes it a popular choice for chess enthusiasts seeking a well-balanced, tournament-ready set.

Design and Craftsmanship

The "Grace" set follows the classic Staunton design, known for its simplicity and functionality. The knight is particularly striking, showcasing intricate hand-carving that gives it a commanding presence on the board. The other pieces are precision-turned and hand-finished, creating distinctive features that are both visually appealing and practical for smooth gameplay.

Materials and Finish

This set is crafted from boxwood and ebonized boxwood, creating a beautiful contrast between the warm, natural tones of the boxwood and the deep, rich black of the ebonized pieces. This combination adds a striking visual appeal to the set, making it stand out on both black and dark brown chessboards. The materials are chosen not only for their aesthetic value but also for their durability, ensuring long-lasting use.

Functionality

The "Grace" chess pieces are thoughtfully weighted and felted, providing a solid and stable feel during play. The felted bases protect the chessboard from scratches and allow the pieces to glide smoothly. The set’s carefully weighted design enhances control, making it easy to move the pieces with precision. Additionally, the inclusion of extra queens allows for seamless pawn promotion, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay.

Suitable for Tournaments

With a king height of 91 mm, this set meets FIDE tournament standards, making it suitable for competitive play. The proportions of the pieces ensure they are easy to handle and clearly visible on the board, enhancing the overall playing experience. A chessboard with square sizes between 50 and 55 mm is recommended to display the pieces at their best.

Optimal Pairing

Pairing the "Grace" set with a dark-colored chessboard, such as one made from black or dark brown wood, will create a visually stunning display, complementing the contrast between the natural and ebonized wood.
