The Leningrad series comprises sets of quality large chessmen available in ebonised boxwood,
acacia and
anjan. To create these black pieces, a set in natural boxwood go through a treatment called ebonisation. It's a long and painstaking process but the results are certainly worth the wait to create the appearance of ebony, without its price and also further protect the wood.
Because of the quality of finish and weight of the Leningrad Series Chessmen they have become one of the best sellers on the Regency Chess website. In fact, the solid feel in hand is a compliment we hear regularly from customers.
Not only that, the Leningrad carving is slightly more ornate, especially on the knights. With their height, all the pieces look regal and elegant. These large pieces are nicely weighted and naturally polished with plush flocked bases in green. They are great for home and tournament use and would be suitable for pairing with boards of
50.80 cm or more.
This set of chess men includes 4 queens
