The Leningrad series comprises sets of quality large chessmen available in
ebonised boxwood, acacia and
anjan. The dark pieces in this set are crafted from acacia, a beautiful grained wood that is slightly lighter than Golden
rosewood (sheesham).
The Leningrad Series Chessmen have become one of the best sellers on the Regency Chess website due to their quality of finish and weight. ‘The solid feel in hand' is, in fact, a compliment we hear regularly from customers.
Not only that, the carving on the Leningrad chessmen is slightly more ornate, especially on the knights. With their height and detail, 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
