WE Games Replacement Tournament Staunton Chess Pieces - Heavy Weighted Chessmen with Light Rook for Professional Chess Players | Perfect for Chess Tournaments, Home Games & Collectors

Product Description

This is a single chess piece from a set of chessmen that combine the traditional Staunton style with the durability of plastic. They are heavy weighted with felt bottoms. The Staunton design has become the standard for tournament play. The pieces are easily distinguishable making for easier game play. Knights are made to resemble the head and neck of a horse. Kings are the tallest pieces featuring a cross atop a closed crown. Queens are slightly smaller than the kings, and feature a coronet topped with a small ball. Rooks feature castle battlements, and bishops resemble a liturgical headdress of a western church. Pawns are the smallest and are topped by a plain ball. The pieces which represent humans (the king, queen, bishop, and pawn) feature a collar which separates the body from the head design. These will be enjoyed for years to come.
