Our Yugoslavia Staunton originates from the chess set designed for the 1950 Chess Olympiad held in Dubrovnik,Yugoslavia. This unique and handsome Staunton design has since become a favorite for chess players around the world and one of our most popular chess sets. We made a few minor changes such as adding a tapered base to enhance appearance and balance of the chess pieces while maintaining the integrity of the intended design. You'll love playing with this chess set whether it's a casual game at home or a tournament match.

Customer Reviews
Frank of Calgary Yugoslavian Stauton Chess Pieces
The pieces are weighted and are very difficult to topple over. they also have chamfered bottoms. the color of the knobs on the bishops/ king/ queen look great. I should point out is the actual color of the rosewood pieces is darker than what is shown in the picture. i have these on a black walnut and maple chessboard i made myself and the color matched perfectly. These pieces are very robust so they should stand up to lots of play
