This Sunrise notation chess set gives you a proper tournament-style setup with a premium quality build that feels made to last.
The 48cm sapele chess board with 50mm squares gives you comfortable spacing to move the pieces around without the board feeling bulky or oversized.
And at 3.5kg, it stays planted and stable so the set doesn’t slide around when you’re deep into a long match.
You also get German acacia and boxwood chess pieces plus extra queens, so you’re ready for real tournament-style play from day one.
At 48cm x 48cm, this sapele notation board gives you a compact tournament surface with 50mm squares for proper piece spacing.
It’s a high quality, European made board, and you can feel the difference in the build.
Made by world-class artisans, it’s finished with care so the lines look clean, the squares sit evenly from edge to edge, and the surface feels consistent across the whole board.
The handcarved German acacia and boxwood pieces stand out because of the woods themselves.
Acacia is a strong, dense hardwood with rich grain and warm natural tones, making each piece visually striking and built to last.
While Boxwood is a fine-grained, dense timber that turns and carves exceptionally well.
Together, these woods give the set a satisfying balance and feel in your hand, combining smooth texture with lasting durability that outclasses typical plastic alternatives.
This tournament chess set is made by world-class artisans who take genuine pride in every detail.
They carefully manage the full process, from selecting timber from sustainable forestry to ensuring people and the environment are treated fairly and ethically.
And the chess pieces and board specs meet the standards of the World Chess Federation (FIDE).
It’s a well-made chess set available in Australia for players who want lasting quality, craftsmanship, and value for money.
"The Sterling Chess team absolutely loves Sunrise chess sets for their craftsmanship, authenticity, and attention to detail. Each set reflects timeless artistry and superior quality, making every game feel special. From vintage reproductions to luxury designs, Sunrise chess products truly capture the passion and tradition of chess.”

Yeah. At 48cm x 48cm it’s big enough to feel like a proper chess board, but it won’t eat up your whole table.
They’re sized for clean spacing, so pieces sit comfortably without feeling cramped or stacked on top of each other.
They’re solid wood pieces, so they feel more solid in the hand than lightweight sets and they hold up well long-term.
You’ll be glad they’re there the first time you promote twice. It keeps the game flowing without you needing to improvise.
It helps especially if you’re trying to improve. You can call out squares instantly without guessing, which makes it easier to follow lessons, copy moves from a book or video, and record your own games properly.
The set weighs 3.5kg, so it stays planted and stable while you play, even when games run long.
