The Ferrer Queen's Gambit Official Chess Set is the exact board and pieces used in the award-winning Netflix series — handcrafted in Spain by Rechapados Ferrer, the manufacturer behind the sets that appeared on screen throughout the production.
This is a set for serious players, collectors, and fans of the show who want the real thing rather than a replica. Available in two sizes — 40cm and 50cm — both boards feature black tulipie wood dark squares, lead-weighted hand-carved boxwood pieces, and a matte anti-reflection finish that meets the standard Ferrer has built its reputation on since the late 1950s. The pieces feel confident and precise in the hand, with the stability that serious play demands.
Rechapados Ferrer was founded in La Garriga near Barcelona and has spent over six decades perfecting the craft of chessboard production. Their boards are used at international tournaments and by major chess brands worldwide — and it was that reputation for quality that led the Queen's Gambit production team to choose them for the series.
Most chess sets tied to film or television productions are decorative first and functional second. The Ferrer Queen's Gambit Official Chess Set is different — built to the same standard as Ferrer's tournament and collector-grade boards, with no concession to aesthetics over playability.
Both board sizes use an ICA UV-cured matte coating — the same treatment applied to Ferrer's professional boards — giving a silky, non-reflective surface that reduces eye strain during long sessions. The 40cm set is ideal for players with limited table space or those looking for a more compact display piece, while the 50cm set offers a full-size playing experience with larger, more commanding pieces. The lead-weighted boxwood pieces on both sets aren't added as a premium touch; they're how Ferrer builds every serious set.
For players looking for a premium themed set with a different aesthetic, our themed chess sets collection has a range of strong alternatives. But for those who want the actual board from the series, made by the actual manufacturer, this is the only set that qualifies.
Both sizes share the same piece design, construction quality, and magnetic closure case. The decision comes down to playing space and personal preference.
The 40cm set suits players with a smaller table, those who want a compact display piece, or buyers looking to gift a high-quality set that doesn't demand a dedicated space. The 40mm squares pair well with the 78mm king, creating a proportional, well-balanced board that plays comfortably and presents beautifully. The light squares on the 40cm are crafted from figured root wood — a characterful, naturally patterned timber that gives the board a slightly more individual look.
The 50cm set is the full-size playing experience — 50mm squares, a 97mm king, and the larger board presence that serious players and collectors typically prefer. If space allows, the 50cm is the natural choice for those who want to replicate the on-screen look as closely as possible.
Rechapados Ferrer didn't become the maker of the Queen's Gambit board by accident. Founded in La Garriga near Barcelona in the late 1950s, the company began as a specialist in wood veneers before moving into chessboard production. Over the following decades they became one of the most respected names in the industry — their boards a regular fixture at major international tournaments and among leading chess brands worldwide.
Both the 40cm and 50cm boards reflect that heritage. The black tulipie dark squares are selected for consistency of grain and tone. The matte anti-reflection finish ensures a perfectly flat, tactile surface that resists warping and wears gracefully over time.
The hand-carved boxwood pieces follow a German Knight-inspired Staunton design — a style recognised for its clarity, balance, and functional elegance. Each piece is carved individually by skilled craftsmen, which means minor variation between sets is a mark of genuine handcraft.
Lead weights in the base give every piece a satisfying, stable feel — no tipping on contact, no sliding on a smooth board surface. Two extra queens are included in both sets, a practical addition for players who promote pawns regularly. These pieces are as comfortable in a competitive game as they are on display between sessions.
Both the 40cm and 50cm sets arrive in a luxurious double case with a magnetic closure — protection that keeps the board and pieces secure and makes for an impressive gift straight out of the box. The magnetic case stores compactly without sacrificing accessibility, and keeps pieces organised between sessions.
The Ferrer Queen's Gambit Official Chess Set is one of the most satisfying sets we carry at Sterling Chess. The pieces are perfectly weighted — there's a solidity and confidence to them that you feel immediately — and the board finish is genuinely high-end, not just visually but in how it plays. This isn't a novelty item riding the show's popularity; it's a proper chess set made in Spain by the craftsmen who built the actual boards used on screen. We'd recommend it equally to serious players, collectors who want something with documented provenance, and fans of the series who want the real thing. The 40cm is an excellent choice if space is a consideration — the root wood light squares give it a character all of its own.

Yes. Rechapados Ferrer are the official manufacturers of the boards used in the Netflix production. This set includes the same board design used in the series, made by the same company in La Garriga, Spain — not a replica or licensed imitation.
The 40cm set (40mm squares, 78mm king) suits players with limited table space and those who want a compact but high-quality display piece. The 50cm set (50mm squares, 97mm king) is the full-size playing experience and the closer match to the on-screen boards. Both share the same piece design, construction quality, and presentation case.
Both. The lead-weighted boxwood pieces and matte-finish board meet the standard for serious recreational and club play. The board's anti-reflection finish reduces eye strain during long sessions, and the pieces are stable and well-balanced on both sizes.
The pieces are hand-carved from boxwood — a dense, fine-grained hardwood well regarded for chess piece production. The dark pieces are ebonised boxwood, finished with a matte lacquer for durability and consistent colour.
Pawn promotion rules allow a pawn reaching the back rank to be exchanged for any piece, most commonly a queen. Having extra queens in the set means you're never without the right piece at a critical moment — a thoughtful inclusion for players who push pawns regularly.
Wipe the board with a dry or slightly damp cloth — avoid harsh cleaning products or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can affect the veneer over time. The magnetic closure case protects the board between sessions and is the best long-term storage solution.
