The "Stallion Knight" chess piece set is a distinguished Staunton design, known for its aggressive and majestic knight. Its striking craftsmanship and balanced proportions make it a popular choice for both collectors and tournament players.

Design and Craftsmanship

The knight in the "Stallion Knight" set is the true highlight, featuring an upright stance with backward-tilted earpieces that give it a bold and combative look. This hand-carved knight is designed to evoke strength and aggressiveness, making it a standout piece for collectors. The other pieces in the set are crafted with the same attention to detail, with the king showcasing upward-swept shapes and the rook featuring flat, elegant battlements. Each piece is meticulously turned and finished by hand, ensuring a high level of precision and quality.

Materials and Finish

Crafted from high-quality boxwood and acacia wood, the "Stallion Knight" set is both durable and visually appealing. The warm tones of the acacia wood contrast beautifully with the lighter boxwood, making the pieces stand out on the board. Each piece is felted and weighted, ensuring stability and ease of movement during play. The set pairs particularly well with chessboards made from mahogany or walnut, which complement the natural tones of the wood.

Functionality

Each piece in the "Stallion Knight" set is designed for optimal playability. The felted bases protect the chessboard from scratches and ensure smooth movement, while the added weight provides stability and balance during intense matches. The set is crafted for both durability and ease of handling, making it ideal for fast-paced games or long, strategic battles.

Suitable for Tournaments

With a king height of 99 mm, the set meets FIDE standards for tournament play, making it suitable for competitive use. The inclusion of extra queens allows for seamless pawn promotion, ensuring that games can continue smoothly without the need for substitute pieces.

Optimal Pairing

For the best presentation, it is recommended to use a chessboard with square sizes between 55 and 58 mm. Chessboards made from mahogany or walnut will enhance the beauty of the "Stallion Knight" set, providing a visually balanced and elegant display.
