Detailed Description of World Chess Championship Set Home Edition
This black and white chess set features handcrafted pieces made from fine boxwood. The king stands at 3 inches (79 mm), making the traditional chess set 20% smaller than the Championship version — ideal for everyday use without compromising design. Two extra queens are included to meet the demands of serious gameplay. Hand-finished black and white chess pieces deliver crisp contrast and balanced weight, so every move reads clearly across the room.
The chess board black and white is made of high quality MDF and walnut veneer. The contrasting and striking color scheme makes it a visual statement and the iconic hexagon shape of World Chess is silk-printed on both sides in a tasteful manner. The squares are 4.5 x 4.5 cm and the overall size of the aesthetic chess board is 45 x 45 cm and has a 4.5 cm margin.
Prefer bold contrast? The black and white chess board with 4.5 cm squares keeps play instantly legible and display-ready on any table.
