Description

1972 Ebonised Reykjavik Broadbase Staunton Chess Pieces 3.75 Inch

The Reykjavik Staunton Chess Series, alternatively known as the Bobby Fischer, Jacob Knight, or Jacques Staunton Series, adopts different names depending on the chess store you visit. The term “Reykjavik series” draws inspiration from the infamous chess tournament held in 1972 in Iceland. This tournament witnessed a historic match between chess masters Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky, with Fischer emerging as the victor in the final championship—an event hailed as one of the best in chess history. The Jacques Staunton name is associated with this set as it was initially introduced by Jacques of London. Today, these Staunton chess pieces are reproductions of the classic design, meticulously crafted by highly skilled artisans based in Amritsar, India. Each piece is carved from solid blocks of wood, ensuring durability and stability. The pieces are heavily weighted, offering a comfortable and stable chess-playing experience. Additionally, a layer of soft green felt on each piece protects your chess board from any potential damage.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

We are a family business that focus strictly around customer service and ensuring our customers have a fantastic all round experience. We are also the largest store selling both Chess and Backgammon sets of great variations.

A common question that confuses many, infact there is no official provider of staunton chess pieces. These chess pieces are named after a gentleman, Howard Staunton who put forward a design of chess pieces made with precision and weight to prevent them toppling over. Staunton chess pieces are all manufactured by skilled craftsmen in Amritsar, India.

This is the official Chessgammon store, we are also present on eBay, Amazon and ETSY. However purchasing from the incorrect listing will mean you may be purchasing from a 3rd party dropshipper. This makes it incredibly difficult for you to arrange replacements/ complain about any potential damages. 

We ensure a safe and secure payment checkout pathways, using government approved payment systems and ofcourse Paypal checkout available for safe measure.
