Chess Pieces "Stallion Knight" | Staunton | 99 mm | Boxwood & Ebonized Wood

The "Stallion Knight" chess piece set is a distinguished Staunton design, recognized for its striking and determined knight. With its detailed craftsmanship and classic appearance, this set is ideal for collectors and competitive players alike.

Design and Craftsmanship

The knight is the focal point of the "Stallion Knight" set, featuring an upright posture and backward-angled earpieces that give it an imposing and combative presence. Hand-carved with intricate detail, this knight stands out for its fierce design, making it a favorite among chess piece collectors. The other pieces are equally refined, with the king featuring a proud, upward-reaching form, and the rook adorned with simple yet elegant battlements. Each piece is meticulously turned, hand-finished, and designed to reflect the finest Staunton craftsmanship.

Materials and Finish

Crafted from premium boxwood and ebonized wood, the "Stallion Knight" set offers a striking contrast between the natural light tones and the deep, rich black of the ebonized pieces. The ebonization process ensures a deep, impenetrable black that complements dark wood chessboards beautifully. Each piece is felted and weighted, providing excellent stability and smooth handling during gameplay, while also protecting the chessboard from scratches.

Functionality

Designed for both aesthetics and functionality, the pieces in this set are weighted for balance and stability. The felted bases allow the pieces to glide smoothly across the board, making them easy to handle and perfect for both casual and competitive play. This design ensures a satisfying experience, whether in a long, strategic match or a fast-paced game.

Suitable for Tournaments

With a king height of 99 mm, the "Stallion Knight" set meets FIDE tournament standards, making it suitable for official competition. The set includes additional queens for both sides, enabling smooth pawn promotion without the need for replacement pieces, enhancing the flow of the game during high-level play.

Optimal Pairing

For the best presentation and performance, it is recommended to pair this set with a chessboard featuring square sizes between 55 and 58 mm. Dark or dark-brown chessboards will harmonize perfectly with the ebonized wood, creating a visually striking and balanced setup.
