Everything about this one is oversized. The king is 113mm on a 49mm base, the board is 58cm across with 60mm squares, and the whole thing weighs 7,650g. It is a set that takes a table over rather than sitting on one.
The board is 22mm of solid timber in bud rosewood and maple, with algebraic notation around the edge, and it weighs more than twice what the pieces do. Sixty millimetre squares are a specialist size, and this is one of the few sets we carry that arrives with the right board already.
The knight is a mustang: a long neck, a raised head and a mane cut in flowing separated locks. It sits in our luxury chess pieces collection.
The same Mustang pattern is listed separately as pieces only. The reason to buy the set instead is the board, and it is a better reason here than on most combos.
Sixty millimetre squares are a specialist size. Most club and home boards are 50mm or 55mm, and a 49mm king base needs 60mm to sit properly. Buying the pieces alone means going and finding a 60mm board, which is a narrower search than most people expect.
This one is also a serious board in its own right: 22mm of solid bud rosewood and maple at 5,500g, with notation printed around the edge. It is heavier than the pieces by a wide margin. Compare against the rest of our chess boards collection.
A 113mm king is roughly fifteen per cent above tournament standard, and the 49mm base is what really drives the board size. The rule of thumb is that a king base should cover around three quarters of a square, which puts 49mm squarely on 60mm and nothing smaller.
On a 55mm board this set would look cramped and the officers would touch along the back rank. That is the trap people fall into buying big pieces without checking, and it is the single practical reason to take the set rather than the pieces.
Algebraic notation around the edge is unusual on a timber board this size and genuinely useful if you record games or teach. It removes the small step of counting files and ranks, which matters most under time pressure and when someone is learning.
The board is 22mm thick and 5,500g, against 2,150g of pieces. That ratio is the opposite of most sets and it is what makes this feel like furniture: the board stays put, does not flex, and sits flat on a table without help. It is solid timber, not a veneer face over a core.
This is a display and home play set. At 113mm it is well above the 95mm to 100mm band for rated play, and at 7,650g it is not something you carry to a club.
Thirty four pieces including two spare queens, plus the 58cm board. No storage box is included. Weighting is added by hand and the board is handmade, so weights vary by around ten per cent. Conventional tournament sizes sit across our Staunton chess pieces range.
The board is why this listing exists. Sixty millimetre squares are hard to find, a 49mm king base genuinely needs them, and here you get a 22mm solid bud rosewood and maple board with notation already matched to the pieces. Bought separately that pairing takes real work. The pieces are excellent too, with a properly carved mustang knight and a 94mm queen that keeps the centre of the rank strong. Be clear about scale before ordering: 58cm of board plus 113mm pieces is a lot of table, and at 7,650g this is a set that gets set up once and stays there. If your table is under about 90cm across, or you want something to take anywhere, buy smaller. If you have the room, very little else we carry has this much presence.

58cm x 58cm with 60mm squares, 22mm thick and around 5,500g, in solid bud rosewood and maple with algebraic notation around the edge.
Yes, algebraic notation is printed around the edge. That is unusual on a timber board at this size and useful for recording games or teaching.
The 49mm king base is the constraint, not the 113mm height. A king base wants to cover around three quarters of a square, which puts 49mm on 60mm. On a 55mm board the back rank crowds and the officers touch.
No. At 113mm it sits well above the 95mm to 100mm band used for rated play. It is a display and home play set.
No. This listing is the 34 pieces and the board only.
