Description:

This Super Staunton Collector Chess Pieces (4" King) set is the finest quality plastic chess set we have ever seen! In fact, this set from The House of Staunton nearly ruined all other chess sets for us. It features beautifully designed pieces that are proportionally perfect. It meets all tournament standards and definitely gets a lot of attention at clubs and events. Each of the pieces is very heavily weighted to more than four times a tournament standard set. The set also comes with an extra queen of each color and a nice cloth bag to protect the pieces. If you want to have a set of pieces that will last a lifetime and make you feel spoiled, this is the set for you!

Complete set of 34 chess pieces (includes extra queens)
King = 4" tall, 1 7/8" base, and 116g
Gorgeously crafted
Quadruple-weighted
Thick all-felt base

I ordered one of these but was dissapointed in that the pieces were a little big for the squares on the 2 3/8" board I intended it for. I was looking at maybe returning it (or re-selling on eBay) and getting the 3 7/8"-King Hastings set. After reading the reviews here and a few other places, I've decided to keep it.

It really is a great set with wonderful feel and balance -- but be prepared to get a 2 1/2" square board to go with it, otherwise things will start to feel alittlecramped.
