Chess Pieces - Bobby Fischer Redwood/Boxwood (3.75" King)

The Bobby Fischer® Ultimate Chess Set has a long and storied history.  First brought about by Dewain R. Barber and Jay Blem to give the chess market a sturdy, reliable tournament set that would not break the bank.  The pieces are ergonomically engineered to feature smooth surfaces and seamless edges to make extended games comfortable and a joy to play. The large-headed pawns and bishops, and the grooved knight’s stem are easier to grasp.

The original Ultimate chess pieces are making their debut in a new wooden form with these beautiful Redwood and Boxwood pieces.  The 3.625 inch king has been increased to 3.75 inches. The base size has been widened so the weight could be increased.  At 3.527 lbs., it is one of the heaviest wood sets for its size on the market.
