This set is a faithful homage to the official World Championship standard—serious players will appreciate the tournament-spec proportions and feel. The solid timber board, carved Anjan wood pieces, and practical fitted storage make this one of the most complete sets we offer. Timeless, impressive, and made to last.
It was the sheer robustness, towering presence and board command of these World Championship Pieces that drew me to them as both the chess set I wanted for play and home display. They fall at the upper end of Chess World’s collections and rightly so with their 95 cm kings on 40 cm bases, extra queens for pawn promotion and no fuss Staunton facades. This set’s solid wood manufacture and hand-craftsmanship together with its fidelity to official tournament play were an unbeatable combo. You can definitely feel their double weight, in black’s Anjan wood especially so. I can’t fault a single piece. They’re as a sophisticated chess set is meant to be.
