World Chess Set (Home Edition with Bauhaus Board)

This is the Home edition of the World Chess Championship Set featuring Bauhaus Board. It is designed by Pentagram for World Chess. The iconic official Championship Set design remains intact but the size of the set is adapted for home and club use. King’s size is 3 inches, and the overall size of the set is 20% smaller than the Championship Set. Pieces for this set are handmade from boxwood by expert craftsmen.

The design of the board is inspired by the Bauhaus tradition. It does not have a full-size border, making it very precise and geometric. The color of the board is striking: deep dark shades complement the pieces. This board design has been introduced by World Chess in 2022. It was manufactured from high-quality MDF and walnut. The classic World Chess hexagon is silk-printed on both sides.

— King 3’00 (79 mm)
— Chessmen material: Boxwood 
— Walnut veneered MDF board
— Square size 4.5х4.5 cm, the board size is 38x38 cm with the borders 0.7 cm

Designed by Pentagram’s Daniel Weil for World Chess, the set is one of the most iconic chess designs in the world. Inspired by the Staunton, the set has been designed with the help of Vladimir Kramnik and Magnus Carlsen and first introduced in 2013. This design is used exclusively in the World Chess Championship matches.
