Our Players Special Staunton chess set is designed for those players and collectors searching for a beautiful chess set in a practical size that will withstand frequent play whether at home or taken to the coffee shop. Our Players Special is traditional Staunton with a Jaques look and feel, elegant in shape, has beautiful knights with features and detail that won't break or damage, and a practical size with a 3.5" tall king.

The profile of the king, queen, and bishop is extraordinarily elegant. The king features a small, traditional formee cross. The queens crown is turned thick and has points that will withstand the rigors of being carried around in a box. The knights are slender with attractive features and a great deal of detail for a knight this size. The bishop miter is well proportioned has a wider than normal slot that is perfectly finished with rounded corners. The rooks stand even with knights nose and have a shallow parapet atop the battlement. The pawns are of average height with a larger than average bulb and a somewhat straight column.

Whether a collector, casual chess player, or buying a special gift for someone, our Players Special Staunton will no doubt become your favorite chess set for every day game of chess.
