Description

Sunrise Walnut 48cm Notation Chess Set

This Sunrise notation set is made for players who want clear board markings so it’s easier to record moves, review games, and play with more confidence in a tournament-style setup.

You get a 48cm walnut chess board with 58mm squares, giving you plenty of space so the chess pieces aren’t cramped.

At 3.5kg, it stays steady on the table and won’t shift around when the match starts to heat up.

And with German acacia chess pieces, you’ve got a set that handles regular play well and stays looking the part.

Walnut 48cm Notation Chess Set With German Acacia Chess Pieces

  • 48cm chess board suits tournament-style games
  • 50mm squares provide clear layout and room for placement
  • 3.5kg weight keeps the board firmly in place
  • 90mm king height meets full-size chess standards
  • Walnut board provides a classic, traditional playing surface
  • German acacia pieces deliver a beautiful light-dark contrast
  • Handcrafted by skilled chess artisans in Europe

Premium 48cm walnut notation chess board

With a 48cm x 48cm footprint, this board gives you proper space for focused games and positions you can follow at a glance.

This is a high-end European made notation board, and the value is in the workmanship. The lettering is laid out cleanly around the border so you can call squares fast, write moves down accurately, and review games later without second-guessing. 

It’s handmade by world-class artisans, so the work is clean and consistent: straight square lines, even spacing, and a smooth, uniform finish across the board.

Each set is handcrafted, uniquely finished, and 100% guaranteed to be of the highest quality.

Walnut 48cm Notation Chess Set With German Acacia Chess Pieces

Handmade German acacia chess pieces

These German acacia chess pieces bring a clean, classic look that fits serious, tournament-style games.

German acacia is a dense, hardwood that’s naturally hard and durable so the pieces stand up well to regular use and resist wear.

Their weight and density also means they hold fine details beautifully, even after frequent handling.

Over time, the rich wood grain stays attractive and helps the set keep its sharp, quality look — something plastic pieces can’t match.

Walnut 48cm Notation Chess Set With German Acacia Chess Pieces

Crafted by skilled artisans

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.

What our chess experts say

Frequently asked questions

Is 48cm x 48cm a good size for everyday use?

Yes — a 48cm x 48cm board with 50mm squares gives you clear spacing without taking over the whole table so it feels comfortable for regular games.

Will it slide around while we’re playing?

At 3.5kg, it’s got enough weight to stay planted, which helps when you’re making quick moves or playing longer sessions.

What do the German acacia and boxwood pieces feel like in the hand?

You’re getting two solid wood options, acacia and boxwood so the set has a natural, traditional feel rather than a lightweight “toy” vibe.

Is the 90mm king a good match for the board?

A 90mm king sits nicely on a board with 50mm squares — tall enough to stand out clearly, but still proportioned so the pieces don’t feel cramped.

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

Notation makes it easier to call out moves, follow along with lessons, or record games without guessing square names, especially handy if you’re learning, coaching, or reviewing.

Do I really need the extra queens?

If you ever promote a pawn, you’ll be glad they’re included — you can keep the game flowing instead of stopping to improvise a “new queen” with another piece.
