World Chess Championship Set (Wenge Board)

The World Championship set on a wenge 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 Vladimir Kramnik and Magnus Carlsen advising on how they should handle in blitz. The board is wenge and maple veneer, 50 cm across with 5 cm squares. Wenge is the darkest brown of our boards, almost black, with a straight open grain; next to it the natural boxwood looks like ivory.

It is the most-bought of the full-size editions after the Premium Set, and currently the least expensive way to own the tournament set with a wooden board. The player in the photographs is Daniil Dubov, World Rapid Champion 2018.

• 34 pieces in boxwood, ebonised and natural, triple-weighted: a full set and two extra queens. King 9.5 cm
