Reykjavik Series Chess Set Burnt Boxwood Pieces with Black and Ash Burl Board and Box - 3.75 inch King - This luxurious chess set includes our Reykjavik Staunton chess pieces handcrafted from boxwood matched with our Black and Ash Burl High Gloss Deluxe Chessboard and Classic Black Chess Box. The Reykjavik draws inspiration from the 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. The pieces are handcrafted from boxwood and then burnt and engraved to reveal the boxwood underneath creating a unique and beautiful pattern on each piece. This is a 34-piece set that includes two extra queens for pawn promotion. The king is 3.75 inch tall with a base diameter of 1.625 inch, the perfect size for tournament chess games. Heavily weighted for exceptional stability, the pieces have thick green baize pads for a soft cushion on the chessboard. A Certificate of Manufacture is included so you will always know what the pieces are, when they were made, and where they came from. This Black and Ash Burl Deluxe Chessboard made for The Chess Store by Rechapados Ferrer combines classic design with elegant features creating an eye-catching battlefield for your chess game. This is an inlaid chessboard handcrafted from high quality black poplar and ash burl veneer sealed with a high gloss polyurethane finish giving the board a luxurious glass-like finish. A triple-layer delimiter defines the playing field, and a wide frame gives aesthetic balance to the board. The squares are 2 inch and the footprint of the board is 19.5 inch square. Four felt pads on the bottom will protect whatever furniture the board sits on. Our Classic Black Chess Box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality boxes from years ago. The box is solid black with a grand piano high gloss finish. The interior is lined with a luxurious thick green baize just like those used for the pads on our chess pieces. The box is a loose-piece design for simple stacking of the pieces and has a divider in the center for neatly storing the black and white pieces separately. We use high quality brass plated hardware including recessed hinges, lock, and key adding the perfect touch to this beautiful box.
