Reuben chess pieces: Staunton style in acacia and boxwood

The Reuben chess set is a double weighted Staunton pattern in acacia and boxwood, with the reassuring heft that makes pieces sit still and stay put mid game. Every piece has a felted base, and the set arrives in its own box. These are factory seconds: perfectly playable, but with minor cosmetic blemishes, and on this set the white king carries a small varnish stain under 1cm across. A good buy for club players, home games rooms and anyone who wants a proper timber set at a gentler outlay and does not mind a little character. Key details: • Double weighted Staunton style pieces in acacia and boxwood • Felted bases on every piece • Supplied with a box; chess board not included • Two sizes to choose from the drop down: Medium with a 3.25 inch king and Large with a 3.75 inch king • Board guide: Medium suits 1.6 to 1.8 inch squares (40 to 45 mm), Large suits 1.8 to 2 inch squares (45 to 50 mm) • Factory second: cosmetic marks only, including a varnish stain on the white king smaller than 1cm Set them up and the weighting tells immediately, with knights and bishops that land solidly and slide cleanly across the squares. Match the size to your board using the guide above so the pieces fill the squares without crowding them. Buy the Reuben Staunton chess pieces online from Cookes Games while these seconds last.
