The House of Staunton Zagreb '59 Chess Set - Red & Natural Lacquer

The House of Staunton Zagreb '59 Chess Set - Red & Natural Lacquer Review



From 6 September to 31 October of 1959, eight of the world?s strongest Grandmasters competed in a powerful quadruple Round-Robin Tournament, played in Bled, Zagreb and Belgrade, Yugoslavia, to determine the challenger for the crown of World Champion currently held by Soviet Grandmaster Michael Botvinnik. Amongst those competing were the young American Robert James "Bobby" Fischer .

To commemorate that classic struggle, The House of Staunton is proud to offer the Zagreb '59 Series Chessmen, a stunningly chess accurate reproduction of one of the most popular chess sets used in the major International tournaments during the 1950s and 1960s. We have taken the liberty of making some minor modifications, such as replacing the ball finial atop the King with a more traditional cross to conform to modern Western tournament praxis.

This full-tournament sized set features a 4.0" King, weighs an impressive ounces and includes 4 Queens. The design and feel of these Chessmen make them ideal for both Tournament and Rapid Play (Blitz) Chess. It is designed to withstand the rigors of practical play while maintaining the elegance that has become the hallmark of all House of Staunton Chessmen.

As with all House of Staunton Chessmen, they exemplify the perfect combination of beauty and functionality. The design, quality and craftsmanship of this set is UNMATCHED by any set of Chessmen in its price range. Nothing even comes close!

The Chessmen are new and each set consists of 34 Chessmen, 17 light and 17 dark (including the two additional Queens.)

Zukert Series Plastic Chess Set in Burgundy & Camel - 4.25" King

Zukert Series Plastic Chess Set in Burgundy & Camel - 4.25" King Review




The Zukert is the newest in our line of exclusive plastic chess sets. While not not meant to be an exact replica, the Zukert was inspired by the Zukertort, an original Jaques of London chess set from the mid 1800s that was eventually named for the Grand Master Johannes Zukertort. The Zukert's knight with its old world, nostalgic look is what distinguishes this set from others. We simply refined and accentuated its features to create a unique design while maintaining the overall aesthetic appeal. We applied this principal to all six chess pieces creating a chess set that is truly a master piece. (Chess board is not included).

As with all of our exclusive plastic chess sets, the molds and molding process is superior to that of lower quality sets producing chess pieces with sharper detail and less noticeable mold lines. We use real billiard cloth for the pads and not felt paper and spare queens are a standard feature. The Zukert's unique design, how it looks on a board, and the feel of the pieces in your hand will make it your favorite chess set.
