The World Championship set on a rosewood board. The pieces are the ones FIDE approved for the championship cycle: boxwood, triple-weighted, a 9.5 cm king, drawn by Daniel Weil of Pentagram with Magnus Carlsen and Vladimir Kramnik advising. The board is rosewood and maple veneer, 50 cm across with 5 cm squares. Rosewood is the deepest red of our boards and the one that photographs best in warm light.
Because of how rosewood is regulated, this edition cannot be shipped to the United States. US customers: the Walnut Edition and Wenge Board editions carry the same pieces.
