"Olympic" European International Chess Set - 16.5"

"Olympic" European International Chess Set - 16.5"

 

This is quite an interesting and beautiful chess set.  First of all I have never seen a set in which the board itself is the carrying case to hold all of the pieces inside.  The chess sets that I have had over the years have been very plain in comparison to this set.

 

There are latches that hold the case shut and inside there is a felted plastic type insert which houses each game piece in it's own individually shaped slot.

I love the craftsmanship and hand carved detail on the game pieces and the game board.  The game board is made of beech and birch wood and the chessmen are made from hormbeam and sycamore.

 

The game pieces each have green felt on the bottom for protection of the game board to prevent scratches.  I consider the set to have an exquisite look because of the detail work and the rich finish. I am thrilled to have this unique chess set and I am sure it will bring many hours of enjoyment for our family for years to come.
