The Sunrise 48cm tournament chess set brings classic looks together with a proper tournament layout, made for players who appreciate quality and solid build.
With a 48cm sapele board and 50mm squares, it provides clear spacing and sharp contrast—perfect for relaxed play and long, concentrated matches.
And weighing in at 3.5kg, the set feels sturdy and well balanced, helping it stay firmly in place during play.
Paired with German acacia and boxwood chess pieces plus extra queens, this set offers a true tournament-style playing experience.
Measuring 48cm x 48cm, this sapele board gives you a compact tournament playing surface that’s laid out properly with 50mm squares that keep spacing for your chess pieces.
This is a high quality board that's European made and the difference is in the execution.
It’s handmade by world-class artisans, so the grid lines are clean and consistent, the squares are aligned evenly from edge to edge, and the surface finish is even 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 crafted by world-class artisans who take real pride in quality.
They oversee the entire process, from sourcing timber from sustainable forestry to making sure people and the environment are treated fairly and ethically.
And the chess pieces and board specifications meet the requirements of The World Chess Federation (FIDE).
It’s a solidly 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.”

It’s built around true tournament proportions, with a 48cm board and 50mm squares, so it plays exactly how a regulation set should. It looks good, but it’s designed to be played on, not just admired.
At 3.5kg, the set has a reassuring weight that helps it stay put on the table. That extra mass makes a noticeable difference during longer games or faster-paced play.
They feel solid, balanced and comfortable in the hand. Natural hardwood gives each piece a smoother touch and better control than lightweight plastic alternatives.
Yes, extra queens are included, so you can promote a pawn properly without stopping the game or improvising.
The 48cm board gives you clear spacing without feeling oversized. It fits comfortably on most tables while still offering full tournament dimensions.
It works well for both. Beginners benefit from the clear layout and stable board, while experienced players will appreciate the correct sizing, solid weight and traditional wooden pieces.
