Yugoslavia Staunton in Golden Rosewood with Folding Chess Case - 3.25" King

This chess set package includes our Yugoslavia Staunton Chess Set in golden rosewood and boxwood, a beautiful Oak Framed Walnut and Maple Folding Chess Case, and The Chess Store Scorebook. 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. As you can see from our photo, the colors of the chess pieces and chess board are a perfect match and look beautiful together. An unbeatable value at this price!
