Ferrer Official Queen's Gambit Chess Pieces

The Ferrer Official Queen's Gambit Chess Pieces carry the officially licensed design from the 1968 Tournament of Champions final in Moscow, played by series protagonist Beth Harmon, where she faced Russian chess champion Vasily Borgov — the defining match of the award-winning Netflix series. Handcrafted in Spain by Rechapados Ferrer, these carry the officially licensed design used in the production.

Available in two sizes, the 90mm and 95mm sets, both meticulously handcrafted from high-quality boxwood, with natural varnish for the light pieces and black varnish for the dark. The Queen's Gambit piece design is distinct from a standard Staunton — developed specifically for the series with the kind of exceptional detail that rewards closer inspection. Weighted bases give every piece the stability that serious play demands, and the set arrives in a luxurious magnetic closure box worthy of the pieces inside.

Rechapados Ferrer has spent over six decades crafting boards and pieces in La Garriga near Barcelona. Their selection as the official manufacturer for the Queen's Gambit production reflects the standard they hold across everything they make.

How the Ferrer Queen's Gambit pieces compare to other licensed chess pieces

The Ferrer Official Queen's Gambit pieces are handcrafted to the same production standard Ferrer applies across their entire range, with weighting and proportions that make them as suitable for serious play as for a collection.

The Queen's Gambit piece design is not a standard Staunton. The carving detail and proportions were developed specifically for the series, giving the pieces a character that distinguishes them from the broader Ferrer range while remaining immediately recognisable and functional on the board. The exceptional detail Ferrer builds into each piece is most apparent in the knight, where the carving quality shows most clearly.

For players who want a complete set with board included, the Ferrer Queen's Gambit Official Chess Set pairs these pieces with the matching Queen's Gambit board. For those looking for compatible standalone boards, the Ferrer Queen's Gambit Chess Board is the natural companion piece.

The pieces from the most iconic match in the series

The 1968 Tournament of Champions final in Moscow is the centrepiece of The Queen's Gambit — the match where Beth Harmon faces Vasily Borgov, the Soviet champion who had defeated her years earlier. The pieces on that board were made by Rechapados Ferrer, and these carry the same officially licensed design.

For fans of the series, collectors, and serious players who want a set with documented provenance, the connection to that specific scene gives these pieces a significance that goes beyond the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship — though both stand on their own merits regardless of the licensing.

Handcrafted detail in every piece

Each piece is individually handcrafted from high-quality boxwood, with meticulous attention to detail across the full set. The natural varnish finish on the light pieces and the black varnish on the dark pieces are applied consistently, giving the set a polished, considered appearance that holds up under close inspection.

The weighted bases give every piece a stable, confident feel on the board. There is no tipping on contact and no sliding across a standard playing surface, making these pieces as suited to a long tournament game as they are to display between sessions. Two extra queens are included, one per colour, so pawn promotion never interrupts play at a critical moment.

Choosing between the 90mm and 95mm sets

The 90mm set suits boards with square sizes between 40mm and 50mm. The 95mm set suits boards with square sizes between 50mm and 55mm.

Both sets suit the Ferrer Queen's Gambit Chess Board, which carries 50mm squares. Browse the Ferrer Chess board range or the full Sterling Chess chess boards collection to find compatible boards across the range.

Presented in a Ferrer signature box

The Queen's Gambit pieces arrive in a luxurious magnetic closure presentation box — a fitting package for a set of this significance. It keeps pieces secure between sessions and makes for a genuinely impressive gift for fans of the series, serious players, or collectors who appreciate provenance.

Our expert take

The Ferrer Official Queen's Gambit Chess Pieces are one of the most distinctive sets we carry at Sterling Chess. The Queen's Gambit-specific design gives them a character that standard Staunton pieces simply do not have, and the handcraft quality from Ferrer ensures they perform as well as they look. Whether you are a fan of the series, a collector who wants something with documented provenance, or simply a player who wants an exceptional set of pieces, these deliver on every count.

Frequently asked questions

Are these the actual pieces from the Queen's Gambit series?

Yes. Rechapados Ferrer are the official manufacturers of the pieces used in the Netflix production. These are the same design as the pieces used in the 1968 Tournament of Champions final scene, made by the same company in La Garriga, Spain.

Which size should I choose — 90mm or 95mm?

The 90mm set suits boards with square sizes between 40mm and 50mm. The 95mm set suits boards with square sizes between 50mm and 55mm. The Ferrer Queen's Gambit Chess Board carries 50mm squares, which falls inside both ranges. The 95mm set is the size supplied in the complete Ferrer Queen's Gambit Official Chess Set.

How does the Queen's Gambit piece design differ from standard Staunton?

The Queen's Gambit pieces were developed specifically for the series with their own distinct design and carving detail, rather than following the standard Staunton template. The proportions and character of the pieces are immediately recognisable while remaining fully functional for serious play.

Are these pieces suitable for serious play?

Yes. The weighted bases, consistent finish, and well-judged proportions across both sizes make these pieces suitable for serious recreational and club play. The pieces were designed to look exceptional on screen and perform equally well on the board.

Are these pieces compatible with non-Ferrer boards?

Yes. While the pieces pair naturally with the Ferrer Queen's Gambit Chess Board, they suit any board with compatible square dimensions. Check your board's square size against the compatible ranges listed in the specifications above.

How should I care for the pieces?

Wipe pieces with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh cleaning products and store pieces in the magnetic closure box between sessions to protect the finish and keep the set complete.
