Royal Blue Finish Chess Set

Royal Blue Finish Chess Set The Staunton silhouette in a color it rarely wears. The Royal Blue Finish Chess Set pairs high-gloss boxwood chessmen in royal blue and ivory with a matching lacquered board, and packs the whole set into a zippered canvas case made for carrying. Each piece is turned from boxwood, weighted for a settled feel on the square, and sealed in a deep lacquer. Green baize on every base protects the board and offers a quiet counterpoint to the blue. Two extra queens are included, so a promoted pawn never has to wait for an upturned rook. The board carries the palette through: royal blue and ivory squares under a lacquered finish, framed by a fine border line. At 45 cm it gives 89 mm kings room to breathe, and it stows flat inside the lid of the case while every piece sits in its own recess in the green-lined tray.
