Its 58cm x 58cm size gives you enough room to plan your strategy and move without bumping pieces even when the board fills up.

And the board is shaped with care so the surface stays even, the finish feels firm under your hands, and the colours stay vibrant for years.

Premium Indian Chetak II Staunton chess pieces

The Indian Chetak II chess set comes with 34 pieces, including 2 extra queens for easy promotion.

The king stands 108mm tall with a 49mm base, giving it bold presence and command on the board.

Each piece has distinct rings and thick green felt on its base for easy movement across the board.

These chess pieces reflect the spirit of Chetak’s enduring legacy.

The Indian Chetak II chess set focuses on fine detail and impressive craftsmanship in every piece.

Each chessman is shaped with skill, carrying defined lines, soft contours, and accents that show the care behind it.

Frequently asked questions

What makes the Indian Chetak II set different from other Staunton sets?

This one leans heavily on craftsmanship. The pieces are carved from ebony and boxwood, the board is ebony and maple, and everything feels solid, balanced, and intentionally made.

Is the knight carving really as detailed as people say?

Yes. Version 2.0 introduced an upgraded knight with sharper eyes, nostrils, teeth, and a more expressive mane. It’s the piece most buyers talk about first because it shows off the artisan’s skill more than anything else.

How heavy are the pieces, and do they feel stable during play?

Very. The set is triple-weighted and comes in around 2200 grams, so the pieces sit firmly on the board and don’t wobble. You get that satisfying “thud” when placing a piece.

Does the set come with extra queens for pawn promotion?

It does. You get 34 pieces, including 2 extra queens, so you can promote without swapping pieces or breaking the flow of a good endgame.

Is the board big enough for comfortable play?

The 58cm x 58cm board with 60mm squares gives you plenty of room. Even in busy middlegame positions, you won’t feel cramped or knock pieces over when reaching across the board.

Will the ebony wood stay dark and attractive over time?

Ebony is prized exactly because it ages well. With normal care and storage, the dark pieces keep that deep, rich tone buyers love.

How smooth is the movement of the pieces on the board?

Each piece has thick green felt on the base, so they glide across the board without scratching it.

Is this set suitable for daily play or more for display?

It works beautifully for both. The materials and construction can handle regular games, but the level of detail, especially the knight, also makes it an impressive display piece in a study or living room.

Is the craftsmanship actually comparable to higher-priced luxury sets?

Yes. This one delivers the same level of detail without the inflated price tag.

Is it made in India, and does the heritage matter?

It is. The set is handcrafted by Indian artisans, and the design pays tribute to Chetak, the legendary horse of Maharana Pratap.
