A full tournament-sized Chess set, it features a 3.875\" King with a 1.75\" diameter base. The Chess pieces are hand carved by our master artisans and crafted out of the highest grade woods. The Chess pieces are heavily weighted with luxurious billiard cloth base pads and a beautiful finish. The design of the Zagreb '59 Chess set is an adaptation of the most popular Chess set used at major international Chess tournaments throughout the 1950s and 1960s, most notably the World Championship Candidates Match that was held in Bied, Zagreb in 1959.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral minor improvements to the design of the Chess set have been made, including the ability to replace the ball finial (cross) atop the King with the more recognizable Forme cross to conform to modern Western tournament praxis. The Chess set comes with both styles of King finials (crosses) that are easily removable, allowing its owner to option to change between both styles. The Chess set has been designed to withstand years of use (and abuse), as it lacks many of the ornate details commonly found on Chess Sets that can be susceptible to damage in the heat of battle. For example, the Chess set features reinforced Pawn collars, stylized Knights and minimal Queen crenellations for unmatched durability. The Zagreb '59 Series Chess set is ideal for those that are interested in both the historical importance of the game of Chess, as well as those looking for an attractive Chess set that is both economical and durable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing height: 3.875\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing base: 1.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedian set weight: 44.7 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach set consists of 34 Chessmen, including four Queens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended board: 2.25\" squares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eHISTORY\u003cbr\u003eFrom September 6 to October 31 of 1959, eight of the world's strongest Grandmasters competed in a powerful quadruple Round-Robin Tournament, played in Bled, Zagreb and Belgrade, Yugoslavia, to determine the challenger for the crown of World Chess Champion currently held by Soviet Grandmaster Mikhail Botvinnik.
