Official World Chess Studio pieces are exactly the same as the iconic pieces of the Championship set, but slightly smaller.
Like the Championship level pieces, the Studio pieces are handcrafted from the same high-quality material - boxwood
They are smaller than the Championship version (87% of the full size) and are ideal for home and club play. They fit well on any 40 and 45 cm square board, but were designed for use with a 45 cm folding board.
Supplied in a special travel case, they do not take up much space and can be easily stored or put in a weekend bag. Both the set and the packaging were designed by Daniel Weil of Pentagram for World Chess.
The king is 79mm tall. The set includes two extra queens. Please note that these are pieces only, the board is sold separately.
The pawn is 4.5cm tall
The pawn base is 2.5cm in diameter
The king base is 3cm in diameter
