Chess Pieces: German Knight, Staunton, Wood

Staunton Chess Pieces German Knight | FIDE Standard | King’s Height: 95 mm | Hand-carved from Wood | Boxwood & Acacia | Weighted & Felted | Extra Queens
The German Knight Staunton chess piece set is a popular choice in the world of chess and is often used in tournaments, chess clubs, or even as a design template for smaller chess games. Its simple yet distinctive design makes it easy to distinguish all the pieces, with the knight standing out, particularly due to its classic design that provides excellent grip for quick chess moves. Apart from the knight, all other chess pieces are precisely turned and their details are hand-finished. The chess pieces in this set are crafted from high-quality boxwood and acacia wood, giving them not only a beautiful appearance but also a uniform grain. The combination of these wood types imparts a warm and natural colour to the set. Chessboards in walnut or mahogany woods, therefore, complement these chess pieces nicely. To protect the chessboard and enable smooth gameplay, all chess pieces are felted and extra weighted. This weighting provides the pieces with additional stability and grip for movement across the chessboard. The set conforms to the standards of the FIDE norm and is well-suited for tournament use. It features a king height of 95 mm, making it an ideal choice for chess players. Additionally, extra queens are included to provide the option of a second queen during pawn promotion without the need for substitute pieces. For the best player experience and presentation of these chess pieces, a chessboard with a square size of 55 - 58 mm is recommended. This ensures that the pieces are well showcased on the chessboard, and the proportions are in harmony. Features of the Chess Pieces: Design: Staunton Material: Boxwood & Acacia Wood King’s Height: 95 mm Total Weight of the Set: 1,067 g Format: FIDE Standard Workmanship: Carved, Felted and Weighted Extras: Additional Queens Recommended Field Size: 55 - 58 mm Important Information: The pieces are hand-carved and made of natural, precious woods. Due to this non-machine, handmade manufacturing process by various carvers, the engravings and carvings as well as the natural wood grain may vary slightly from the pictures. The chessboard is not part of this offer and is for presentation purposes only.
