Description of Traditional Staunton Chess Set Combo with Ivory and Red Pieces
This handsome set comes with our Traditional Staunton Chess Pieces, our Soft Mousepad Board and our Carryall Tournament Bag.
Our Traditional Staunton Chess Pieces are a high-end Staunton style set. The set weighs about 2 lbs 13 ounces, and has a 3 ¾" king with a beautiful British-style knight.
The 20" Soft Mousepad Board is a great chess board for blitz play as it always lay flat and won't slide or move. It has 2 1/4" squares and algebraic notation around all sides of the chess board.
The Carryall Tournament Bag has two pockets for the pieces, a padded clock pouch, elastic loops to hold the board and a long pocket to carry scorebooks, note pads, etc. The bag measures apprixmately 24" x 7", comes with a detachable shoulder strap for easy transportation and has sturdy handles and zippers.
Due to the color and flat finish on the blue and red sets, those pieces have an "antiqued" or played look and will show more scratches than the other colors. If you prefer a glossy piece please purchase the ivory, natural or black pieces.
