Dal Rossi Chess Pieces

Dal Rossi chess pieces are sold here as pieces and a box, without a board, for players who already have a board and need a full Staunton set to put on it.

They come in 85mm and 95mm king heights, each a standard Staunton pattern supplied with its own storage box. Fit is decided by the king's base rather than its height, and every listing states the square size it suits. Australian stock, 100 day free returns.

Sizing the pieces to your board

Fit is decided by the diameter of the king's base, not by the height of the king. The 85mm set is listed for squares of roughly 40mm to 50mm, which covers most folding boards and smaller timber boards. The 95mm set is listed for roughly 50mm to 55mm, the usual range for a full size timber board. If your board falls between the two, measure a square and work from that rather than from the height of the set you are replacing. Boards in both ranges sit across the chess boards collection.

What comes in the box

Each listing is 32 Staunton pieces and a box to keep them in. The box is a plain unit rather than a lined presentation case, so if you want felt inside it, the chess piece storage boxes collection has lined alternatives sized past 95mm. No board is included in either listing.

Weighted or not

These are unweighted sets. That is no disadvantage at a home board that is not going anywhere, where pieces sit still and nobody is hitting a clock. For club or rated play, where a set is handled fast and knocked often, weighted pieces hold the position better and settle onto the square rather than skating across it. The tournament chess pieces range covers that end, and the rest of this maker's catalogue is in the Dal Rossi collection.

Frequently asked questions

Is a chess board included?

No. Each listing is pieces and a storage box. The board is chosen separately, which is the point of buying pieces on their own.

What square size suits the 85mm pieces?

Roughly 40mm to 50mm. The 85mm king sits comfortably across that range, and below 40mm the back rank starts to crowd.

What square size suits the 95mm pieces?

Roughly 50mm to 55mm, which is the common size for a full sized timber board and for club play.

Are the pieces weighted?

No. They are standard Staunton pieces at a practical weight for home and recreational play rather than weighted competition pieces.

Is the storage box felt lined?

No. It is a plain box built to hold the set. Lined boxes are listed separately.
