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 unique and handsome design with opposite color tops on the king, queen, and bishop has since become a favorite for chess players around the world and one of our most popular sets. This is a tournament size chess set with a 3.9 tall king. The pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability and have green billiard cloth pads so they slide easily across the chess board.
