The "Supreme" Staunton chess piece set is renowned for its striking design and high-quality craftsmanship, making it a popular choice among chess players. Its elegant shapes and user-friendly handling enhance its appeal, while the standout knight adds a powerful and majestic presence to any chessboard.

Design and Craftsmanship

The "Supreme" set follows the classic Staunton style, with the knight serving as the centerpiece. The knight features an upright posture and forward-facing ears, giving it a lifelike resemblance to a stallion. This detailed craftsmanship goes beyond mere symbolism, adding both artistic and practical value to the set. Each piece in the collection is hand-carved and precisely turned, ensuring a unique, high-quality appearance that makes this set visually stunning and functional.

Materials and Finish

Crafted from premium boxwood and acacia wood, the "Supreme" set is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. The natural grain and warm tones of acacia add a rich texture to the pieces, while the boxwood provides a smooth, polished look. These materials are chosen for their longevity and beauty, making the set a perfect complement to chessboards made from mahogany or walnut wood.

Functionality

Each chess piece in the "Supreme" set is weighted and lined with felt, ensuring optimal stability and smooth movement across the board. The weighting of the pieces allows for better control and precision during gameplay, making them ideal for both casual and competitive chess. The felted bases also protect the chessboard, ensuring a smooth, quiet playing experience.

Suitable for Tournaments

With a king height of 95 mm, the "Supreme" set meets FIDE standards, making it suitable for official tournament play. The inclusion of extra queens ensures that pawn promotions can be handled seamlessly, without the need for substitute pieces, enhancing the flow of the game during high-level competitions.

Optimal Pairing

To showcase the "Supreme" set in the best light, pairing it with a chessboard that has square sizes of 55 to 58 mm is recommended. This will ensure a balanced and harmonious presentation, allowing the pieces to be displayed to their full potential.
