Sunrise Sapele 54cm Notation Chess Set

This Sunrise notation chess set is made for players who want a proper tournament-style setup with solid build quality.

With a 54cm sapele chess board and 58mm squares, you get generous space for full-size pieces and a clean layout that suits longer games.

At 3.5kg, the board stays planted on the table so it doesn’t shift around mid-game.

The set is paired with German ebonised chess pieces and a 95mm king height, giving you a traditional tournament profile.

Sapele 48cm Notation Chess Set With German Ebonised Chess Pieces

Key features

  • Clear notation board markings for easy move recording
  • 48x48cm board size suits most tables
  • 50mm square size keeps spacing neat and readable
  • Solid 3.5kg set weight stays steady on tables
  • Sapele board construction supports lasting durability
  • German ebonised finish delivers a classic dark look
  • Handmade by skilled chess artisans in Europe
  • Extra queens included for smooth promotions

Premium 48cm sapele notation chess board

Measuring at 48cm x 48cm, this notation chess board gives you a compact tournament surface, and the 50mm squares keep spacing consistent for clean piece placement.

The notation border helps you call squares clearly, write moves down accurately, and go back through a game later without second-guessing positions. 

And this board is made to the standard you expect from high-end European chess sets, with each board handcrafted by world-class artisans.

That level of craftsmanship shows every time it’s on your table: it looks sharp up close, presents well in any room, and holds its finish better than a mass-produced board.

They’re made from solid boxwood, with a satisfying weight that makes each move feel premium and more controlled.

Overall, you get a cleaner set of pieces compared to standard plastic, while keeping the traditional chess design.

Is 48cm too small for serious games?

48cm x 48cm is a solid, practical board size for regular play. With 50mm squares, you still get clear spacing for a clean setup.

Do the pieces match a tournament-style profile?

It’s designed to have proper chess proportions, with a 95mm king height and a traditional Staunton profile, so it suits real play.

Will the board slide around when I’m moving quickly?

What’s the point of having notation on the board?

Notation makes it easier to record moves, replay games, and follow lessons or opening lines without guessing squares.
