The Kasparov Grandmaster Chess Set

This is the heirloom chess set designed and endorsed by grandmaster Garry Kasparov, widely acknowledged as the greatest chess player of all time. Ideal for beginners or experienced players alike, the set features re-designed pieces that are sized to represent their relative value, unlike traditional Staunton chess pieces that diminish in height when moving away from the center of the board. The extra-large 4 1/4" H pieces are made from a composite material with silver or bronze copperplate finish, while the 18 1/2" square wooden chess board is adorned with a Kasparov signature panel on each player’s side. A built-in storage drawer with foam inserts stores and protects pieces. Includes “Learn To Play Chess”, a guide to the game written under Kasparov’s direct supervision. 6 3/4" H x 21 3/4" W x 21 3/4" D. (18 lbs.)
