The design seamlessly continues into the border, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the set. The chess pieces, with their simplistic yet elegant design, elevate the gameplay to an artful experience. The 20" wide board provides ample space for strategic moves, and the 4" tall king stands as a symbol of grandeur.

To ensure a scratch-free and luxurious playing experience, both the chess pieces and the board come with padded, felt bottoms. Delivered in a blue velvet case, each piece is securely held, adding to the regal presentation of this set.

Chess Origins:

Delve into the rich history of chess, originating in northwest India in the 6th century as chaturaṅga, meaning four divisions. This early form included the infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, evolving into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook. The game journeyed along the Silk Road, reaching Western Europe and Russia by the 9th century. By 1000, chess had spread throughout both Muslim Iberia and Latin Europe. Chaturaṅga was embraced by the Muslim world after the conquest of Persia, where it was renamed. The term "checkmate" is derived from the Persian shāh māt, meaning "the king is helpless." Around 1200, the rules of shatranj started to be modified in southern Europe, and around 1475, several major changes shaped the game into its present form.
