The Chessmen feature a 4″ King with a 1.7” Diameter base and are heavily weighted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResearch informs us that these sets were made throughout the whole 20th century up to the present day. The 1st set, having full wooden knights, was made in Czech before it was part of Eastern bloc under Soviet Union and the 2nd one, having plastic knight heads, during the 1980ies. Full plastic sets do exist as well. The full wooden knight here is almost equal to the knight of the Fidet \"Coffeehouse\" set, an indication that Fidet could have made that set. November 2019 I saw a picture of the 1963 Czech Championship where they used such a set. The 2nd set is a No. IV (about 11cm King), but I have seen also a No. II (9cm) as well, original in cardboard box with rubber coated canvas scrolling board, manufactured in Czechoslovakia in town Frydlandt and called \"Česká Klubovka\". The original design was by famous Czech sculptor Bohuslav Schnirch at the end of 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beautiful chess set pieces with the meticulously handcrafted knights are carved with perfection and expert precision. It has been designed to withstand the rigours of practical play while maintaining an elegance. The Chess Pieces are hand carved by our skilled master craftsmen and crafted out of highest grade exotic woods. It offers the highest level of detail and would make a wonderful additional to any chess collection. The set is entirely handmade in India and weighted for prodigious hand-feel and a very nice thud on the wooden chess board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood Combination      Distressed Boxwood \/ Ebony Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark Chess Pieces        Ebony Wood\u003cbr\u003eLight Chess Pieces       Distressed Boxwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChessmen Sizes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e               Height               Base size\u003cbr\u003eKing       4\" (102mm)       1.675\" (43mm)\u003cbr\u003eQueen   3.675\" (93mm) 1.5\" (38mm)\u003cbr\u003eBishop   3\" (76mm)        1.375\" (35mm)\u003cbr\u003eKnight   2.87\" (73mm)   1.375\" (35mm)\u003cbr\u003eRook      2.25\" (57mm)   1.375\" (35mm)\u003cbr\u003ePawn     2.12\" (54mm)    1.25\" (32mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended Square Size 2.16\" to 2.36\" (55 mm to 60 mm)\u003cbr\u003eTotal Weight Of Chess Pieces 3.7 lbs ( 1685 grams)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains\u003cbr\u003e34 Chess pieces, including 2 Additional Queens (for Pawn Promotion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturn Policy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are not satisfied with the product, you may return it within 30 days of receipt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chess Villa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44042460528737,"sku":null,"price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/7935\/7537\/files\/Pic3_b8bb202a-9dac-492a-b3a8-7c1e7b19d981.jpg?v=1776630896","url":"https:\/\/chessvilla.com\/products\/reproduction-1951-1954-ceska-klubovka-fide-tournament-czech-4-chess-pieces-weighted-ebony-distressed-boxwood","provider":"Chess Villa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
