Discover the exquisite craftsmanship of The Blackburne Ebony Chess Men, a prestigious addition to The Regency Chess Company's wide selection. With their flawless carving, stunning details, and billiard cloth bases, each piece is expertly crafted and perfectly weighted. These magnificent chessmen, named after the famous Joseph Henry Blackburne, stand at a massive 4.5 inches. Despite only learning chess at 17 or 18, Blackburne quickly rose to become a formidable player, defeating Manchester's strongest player just a month after his debut. He even mastered the art of blindfold chess, playing against multiple opponents at once. His innovative spirit even led to the creation of chess clocks.
