Questions
What makes a chess set luxury?
Weight, wood and finish. Pieces turned and carved from boxwood, ebony or rosewood, weighted so they settle on the square; boards with a veneer thick enough to be refinished; a fit between king and square that looks right from across the room.
Which wood should I choose?
Walnut and maple are the tournament look. Rosewood is warmer and darker. Ebony is the heaviest and the most formal. All of them age well if kept out of direct sun.
Is the World Chess set a luxury set?
The Walnut Edition and the Premium Set are: hand-finished boxwood pieces designed by Pentagram on a walnut board, made for the World Championship stage.
