These attractive chessmen in the traditional Staunton style are crafted from Sheesham and Kari wood. They are hand polished for a beautiful luster and they are weighted for greater stability. The Staunton design has become the standard for tournament play. The pieces are easily distinguishable making for easier game play. Knights are made to resemble the head and neck of a horse. Kings are the tallest pieces featuring a cross atop a closed crown. Queens are slightly smaller than the kings, and feature a coronet topped with a small ball. Rooks feature castle battlements, and bishops resemble a liturgical headdress of a western church. Pawns are the smallest and are topped by a plain ball. The pieces which represent humans (the king, queen, bishop, and pawn) feature a collar which separates the body from the head design. These can be used for tournament play and will be enjoyed for years to come.

Great Quality, Nicely Weighted

The consistency of the pieces is very good. They have a very nice polished finish while still giving a natural wood appearance. Look extremely nice on wooden boards. They are weighted so they play very nicely and are hard to knock over on accident. My board is a 12inch board and they fit a little large so probably better used for a 14 or 16 inch board. Only one minor deduction and that is the felt on some pieces isn’t glue the best on some edges so it might come over after lots of uses.
