Discover the refinement of chess with our beginner’s set, combining the elegance of maple wood with the richness of walnut for the chess board.
The chess board, born of the harmony between maple and walnut wood, offers a quality playing surface for beginners. With dimensions of 54 x 54 cm, every game becomes a captivating visual experience.
The boxwood and ebonised boxwood chess pieces, with their impressive king height of 9.5 cm, add a touch of nobility to every game. Precisely carved, these pieces offer a refined aesthetic and are well weighted for pleasant handling. Please note that the set includes 34 pieces (32 + 2 queens).
A beautiful chess set rests on a simple balance: pieces well proportioned to the size of the squares. To choose a harmonious board, the most reliable guide is the diameter of the king's base.
Key guideline: ideally, the king's base takes up about 75% of the square.

A board that is too small can hamper moves and make the set look cluttered. À l’inverse, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
