Full details

FAQs
Does the set include a storage box for the pieces?
The set is designed to be stored within its original packaging which includes compartments for the 32 pieces.
Is this set suitable for tournament play?
While the set is fully playable, it is designed for casual home play and collection rather than official tournament standards, which usually require standard Staunton-style pieces.
What are the dimensions of the board?
The board measures 47 cm across when fully unfolded.
Are the pieces magnetic?
No, the pieces are designed for stability through their balanced weight and are not magnetic.
How should I clean the chess pieces?
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe off fingerprints or dust. Avoid abrasive chemicals that could tarnish the metallic finish.
Troubleshooting
Board does not lay perfectly flat.
Place the board under a heavy, flat object like a book for several hours to help reset the hinge.
Difficulty identifying specific piece roles (e.g., Bishop vs. Knight).
Refer to the base of the pieces, which typically features subtle engravings or distinct shapes to signify their rank.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Keep the pieces in their designated storage compartments when not in use to prevent scratching the silver and gold finish.
- Wipe the board gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust; avoid using liquid cleaners that could damage the comic-book artwork.
- Ensure the board is folded carefully along the seam to maintain the longevity of the binding.
