The equipment used at that event has a look you can identify across a room, and this is a reproduction of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distinguishing feature is the rook. At 53mm it is barely taller than the 52mm pawn, which is unusual to the point of being startling if you have only played with English patterns. The knight, at 76mm, matches the bishop exactly. The whole back rank is compressed toward the board in a way that later tournament designs abandoned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo finishes are offered, natural boxwood and ebonised.

Domestic championships were fiercely strong events, and the equipment was produced to be functional and reproducible rather than decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat functional priority shows in the design. Nothing here is ornamental. The rook is short because a short rook is stable and cheap to turn, the knight is compact because a compact knight survives being dropped in a bag, and the finials are simple because simple finials do not snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TWO_COLUMN_GRID-Wm0zIy7Xim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Wm0zIy7Xim\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Wm0zIy7Xim page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eA light set that moves quickly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Wm0zIy7Xim     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 960g across 34 pieces this set averages around 28g a piece.

The pieces lift and place quickly, which suits blitz and rapid play, but they do not have the planted heft of a weighted tournament set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStability comes instead from the low profile.
