ID 1337245924 Reykjavik Series Chess Set Ebony & Boxwood Pieces with Walnut & Maple Deluxe Board & Box - 375" King

This chess set package includes our Reykjavik Series with genuine ebony and boxwood pieces matched with our Walnut and Maple Deluxe Chess Board and Classic Walnut Chess Box. This is the same chess set used by the legendary American Grandmaster Bobby Fischer when he beat reigning world champion and Grandmaster Boris Spassky in the 1972 World Chess Championship in Reykjavik, Iceland. These handsome pieces have traditional Staunton features and are a favorite for chess players wanting a set that will stand up to the rigor of frequent use. These are ebony and boxwood pieces with a traditional polished lacquer finish and are heavily weighted for superior balance and stability on the chess board. The king is 3.75" tall and has a base diameter of 1.625", the perfect size for tournament chess games. Thick green billiard cloth pads let the pieces slide smoothly across the chess board and a quite soft feel when sitting down. We include two extra queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is and where it came from.Our Walnut and Maple Deluxe Chess Board is made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, the manufacturer of the highest quality inlaid chess boards in the world. Made from premium grade walnut and maple veneer, the precision of the craftsmen inlay work is remarkable. The squares are 2" and the overall size of the board is 19.5" and .5" thick. A triple inlay delimiter accentuates the playing area from the extra wide frame that is the full width of a square. The board is sealed with a matte polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the beauty of the wood.The chess box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box is covered in walnut veneer and the interior is lined with a thick green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. We used high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. We include 2 keys in case one ever gets lost.Chess Set Specifications & Features: Includes 34 Pieces with 2 Extra Queens for Pawn Promotion; Ebony & Boxwood; Traditional Polished Lacquer Finish; King Height: 3.75"; King Base: 1.625"; King Weight: 2.6 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 46 Ounces; Green Baize Pads; Chess Board: Material: Walnut & Maple *Veneers over Wood Composite; Matte Polyurethane Finish; Square Size: 2"; Dimensions: 19.5" x 19.5" x .5"; Felt Pads on the Bottom; Made in Spain by Rechapados Ferrer; Chess Box: Material: Walnut Veneers & Other Wood; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Outside Dimensions: 9.25" x 6.375" x 4" ; Inside Dimension: 8" x 5" x 2.75" (1" space above in lid); High Quality Hinges and Lock - Comes with 2 Keys;
