The "Supreme" Staunton chess piece set is a highly sought-after collection admired by both chess players and collectors. Its striking design, especially the bold and aggressive knight, makes it a standout choice for both casual and competitive play.
Design and Craftsmanship
The "Supreme" set follows the traditional Staunton design, with the knight being the most eye-catching piece. The knight features an upright posture with forward-facing ears, exuding a sense of strength and aggression that adds a dynamic presence to any chess game or collection. The remaining pieces are crafted with equal elegance, showcasing sleek and proud forms that are not only aesthetically appealing but also designed for ease of handling. Each piece is meticulously hand-carved or turned, highlighting the fine craftsmanship behind the set.
Materials and Finish
This set is made from premium boxwood and ebonized wood, ensuring both durability and visual contrast. The natural boxwood gives the white pieces a clean and classic appearance, while the black pieces, crafted from ebonized wood, offer a deep, rich color that complements darker chessboards beautifully. Every piece is lined with felt to protect the board and allow for smooth, seamless movement during gameplay. The pieces are also weighted, providing stability and balance for precise control.
Functionality
The pieces in the "Supreme" set are designed for optimal gameplay, with added weights for improved balance and felted bases to protect the chessboard. The weight of each piece allows for secure handling, enabling controlled, precise movement across the board. This makes the set ideal for both casual games and serious competitions.
Suitable for Tournaments
With a king height of 95 mm, this set adheres to FIDE standards, making it suitable for tournament play at any level. Extra queens are included to accommodate pawn promotions without needing substitute pieces, ensuring an uninterrupted and smooth gaming experience during high-level play.
Optimal Pairing
For the best presentation and gameplay experience, pairing the "Supreme" set with a chessboard that has square sizes between 55 and 58 mm is recommended. A dark or ebonized chessboard will perfectly complement the black pieces, showcasing the full visual impact of the set.
