This classic, Russian-styled chess set has several distinctive features. The pieces are crafted of premium Rosewood and Maple, and the Rosewood pieces are particularly striking. They have a unique heavy wood grain that displays bands of light and dark shades of reddish-brown. The Russian styling is most evident on the knights, whose delicately curved necks and downward turned heads take on a regal appearance. . This set includes a tournament 3.75-inch king height and a charming Rosewood/Maple board.
