M2030 Hannah Grand Staunton Ebonised Chess Set King Height 4 inch. Base Diameter 1.75 inch. Triple Weighted 81g. This product from Chess Baron: A traditional staunton tournament set that will stand the test of time. Its ageless elegance makes it a great gift for the sophisticated chess player who can play the game as if reading a script, Martini in hand. For a serious player, there is nothing like a triple weighted tournament set - especially one carved in the traditional Staunton design. Excellent attention to detail and fine carving using Chidar wood makes this set a pleasure to behold. Like looking at a pure bred Stallion, Grace in nature transforms to wood with this delightful set. Of course there is nothing natural about the color. That lovely aged appearance of the dark pieces comes from a chemical process called 'ebonising'. Nothing wrong with helping nature on a little, after all, we all do it. With a 4 inch King and generous base of 1.75 inches, these chess pieces need a board with 2 inch squares. And if this is a gift, then remember to give it 'with love'.
