This chess set features large, quality pieces crafted from ebonised boxwood, known for their weighted and felted design. The set includes a 4-inch (102 mm) king and two additional queens, making it ideal for serious play. It is paired with a beautifully crafted 19-inch veneer board from Spain, featuring high-quality inlays and a substantial weight for a solid feel. The playing squares measure 1.9 inches. The Leningrad Chessmen series is renowned for its quality and finish, with pieces that are regal and elegant in appearance. The ebonisation process, a long procedure applied to natural boxwood, creates the appearance of ebony without the high price tag, while also protecting the wood. The chosen 19-inch veneer chessboard is a classic design, precisely crafted in Europe to a very high standard, offering superb value for money. It complements the Leningrad Ebonised Chess Men perfectly, providing a clean, contemporary look suitable for tournaments. The board has a solid feel and is well-finished, with green felt feet to protect table tops.
