Size & Combination Guide

No. 5 is the most common chess piece size, designed to pair perfectly with No. 5 chessboards (50 x 50 mm squares). This size meets FIDE standards and is suitable for both home and tournament use.

No. 6 is a slightly larger size that offers a more impressive playing experience – it works excellently with No. 5+ and No. 6 boards. This size also meets FIDE standards.

No. 7 is the largest piece size in our range. It's best suited for large boards or display purposes when you want maximum visibility and presence.

When the Cold War Was Decided on the Chessboard

In 1972, Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky battled for the World Championship in the most widely followed match in chess history. Fischer strangely lost the first two games – the second even by forfeit when he refused to play due to a dispute over playing conditions.

When the tournament organizers refused his demands and the match appeared destined for a forfeit victory, Spassky yielded – it would have been a hollow victory.

The Historic Turnaround With These Pieces

Fischer fought back and decisively defeated Spassky with a final score of 12½-8½, having won 7 and lost only 1 of the remaining games. The 24-year Soviet reign was over. The American had single-handedly toppled the mighty Soviet chess establishment... With these pieces.

This isn't just a chess piece set – it's a piece of chess history.
