The Chess Store Zagreb Plastic Chess Set Black & Aged Ivory Pieces with Extra Queens, Walnut & Maple Floppy Chess Board & Box - King

This special chess set includes Zagreb with black and aged ivory pieces matched with our Walnut and Maple Floppy Mouse Pad Chess Board and our Two-Compartment Loose Piece Chess Box. Our Zagreb Plastic Chess Set with Black and Aged Ivory Pieces offers players a unique design transcending the ordinary while capturing a timeless piece of chess history. This design became prominent in the 1950's when it was first used in the World Championship Candidates Match held in Zagreb in 1959. This is a 34-piece set that includes two extra queens for pawn promotion. Ideal for tournament games, the king is tall and has a base diameter of 1.625". The plastic pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board. Thick green baize pads on the bottom create a soft cushion and allow the pieces to slide smoothly across the chess board. The uniquely shaped knight with its arched neck and turned down head is what distinguishes this chess set from others. As is often found on eastern European sets, the king, queen, and bishop finials are made in the opposite color of the main body.
