Felted and weighted pieces
The weight of the pieces, provided by the weighting, gives good stability on the chess board, while the felt protects the board's surface when moving pieces. This set is just as suited to regular use as it is to a gift idea for a player who appreciates quality materials.
Choosing the right board size
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. Conversely, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
