German Knight Staunton Chess Set in Golden Rosewood & Boxwood - 3.75" King

Sometimes simple is best and that's true of our German Knight Staunton chess set with its simple but attractive design. Unencumbered by fine detail, the pieces will stand up to the rigor of everyday play and it's an especially good chess set for blitz. Pieces have green billiard cloth pads for a soft feel on the chess board and are weighted for stability. The golden rosewood and boxwood are hand polished to a beautiful sheen. More chess games have been played with a German Knight than any other chess set in the world and it continues to be our most popular chess set.

Suzanne Maurer of Honolulu , HI Chess pieces
We're very pleased...thank you!
Carl Berg of Denver German Staunton Golden Roosewood and Boxwood Chess Pieces
I am very impressed with these German Staunton pieces, ones which remind me of the very pieces used in so many international tournaments. Simple in design,functional and attractive. I might also note that these pieces do not easily tip over in use. This is my "go to" set for future USCF tournaments, as well as for home analysis. I purchased a Mahagony and Maple ($49.00) board in 1.75" squares and find the contrast to be perfect for me. I tend to dislike really dark squares given the low light...
