WE Games Classic Tournament Staunton Chessmen - Heavy Weighted Black & Cream Plastic Set with 3.75 Inch King

Due in 6/29/21

Checkmate! These chessmen combine the traditional Staunton style with the durability of plastic. They are heavy weighted with felt bottoms and feature black and ivory(Off-White) pieces. 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 will be enjoyed for years to come.
