The House of Staunton Reykjavik II Chess Set in Genuine Ebony

In 1972, Robert James "Bobby" Fischer and Boris Spassky battled for the World Chess Championship in the most widely followed match in the history of Chess. Despite a disastrous start, where he lost the first 2 games, Bobby Fischer fought his way back and decisively defeated Spassky by a final score of 12.5 - 8.5, single-handedly ending the Russian dominance of Chess. The Chessmen that were used during the match were produced by the legendary Jaques of London.

Walnut & Maple Classic Chess Board - 2.125" Squares

Our Walnut and Maple Classic Chess Board is an attractive and practical chess board for any chess set. It's a favorite chess board for Golden Rosewood chess sets as the rich golden-brown colors match extremely well and black chess pieces contrast strikingly with the black walnut and maple. A white pinstripe around the playing area along with a wide frame gives the chess board an elegant look. The chess board is sealed in a polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the natural beauty of the wood! Made from the finest veneer available, the precise inlay work by the craftsmen of Rechapados Ferrer is simply unsurpassed!
