This chess set package includes a Zagreb Series Chess Set with genuine ebony and boxwood pieces matched with a Tiger Ebony and Maple Deluxe Chess Board. This design became prominent in the 1950’s when it was first used in the World Championship Candidates Match held in Zagreb in 1959. This set is a slightly smaller version with a 3.25” tall king and a base diameter of 1.375”. Pieces are made from ebonized and natural boxwood and are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board.
The chess board is sealed in a polyurethane finish that protects and enhances the natural beauty of the wood. Made from the finest veneer available, the precise inlay work by the craftsmen is simply unsurpassed.
