Staunton Chess Pieces Supreme | FIDE Standard | King’s Height: 95 mm | Hand-carved from Wood | Boxwood & Acacia | Weighted & Felted | Extra Queens
The Staunton chess piece set Supreme is primarily popular among chess players due to its striking knight, often considered the centrepiece of the game. The entire collection of these chess pieces is characterized by their elegant shapes and user-friendly handling. The knight stands out with its upright posture and forward-facing ears, giving it a majestic and powerful presence. The detailed craftsmanship brings the head of the knight remarkably close to a lifelike representation of a stallion, going beyond mere symbolic depiction. The selection of high-quality materials such as boxwood and acacia wood underscores the quality and durability of these chess pieces. Precision and craftsmanship were of particular importance in their production. Each piece was carefully turned and hand-carved to ensure a unique and high-quality appearance. To enable players to make precise and controlled chess moves on the board, all the pieces are lined with felt and weighted. With a king height of 95 mm, the kings in this chess piece set conform to established standards for tournament chess pieces. This feature makes them an excellent choice for chess players participating in official chess competitions who also prefer to own a full-sized set. Additionally, the set includes extra queens, providing all the necessary pieces for pawn promotion without the need for replacement figures. To fully realize the potential of these chess pieces and ensure an aesthetically pleasing presentation, it is recommended to use a chessboard with square sizes of 55 - 58 mm. On such a chessboard, the pieces can be harmoniously placed to depict an aesthetically balanced and appealing relationship between the pieces and the board.
