Description from the seller
This Classic Tournament chess set is our medium-sized tournament set and includes the weighted Staunton No. 5 chess pieces, made of hornbeam wood. The white squares are printed on the chessboard. The folding chessboard has been inlaid with mahogany and sycamore wood. This chess set size is most used at chess tournaments.
The board is hand-decorated with a technique called INTARSJA – that is, an old form of wood inlaying, the start of which dates back to before the seventh century. Thanks to this method, chess has a unique appearance and smooth board surface.
The folding chessboard is made of wood, mainly of beech. On the side of the board, there are two metal locks in gold colour.
Carved figures are made of solid wood (beech) and are glued to the bottom with green felt.
The folding chessboard has a green insert tray for the chess pieces storage inside.
The simplest and most widely used form of chess notation is the algebraic notation. The edges of the chessboard are marked with letters and numbers.
Chess notation is an easy way to record your games so that you can play them back to study tactics, understand mistakes, or impress your friends. Give the notation a try in your next game – you will see that there is nothing more pleasant than the eye-catching exclamation mark behind the move that wins the game.
Much research has already been done into the benefits of chess for the brains of children. This showed, among other things, that children playing chess perform better at school when it comes to skills such as logical thinking, problem solving, math skills, spatial awareness, and concentration.
