These handcrafted Rosewood chessmen are a beautiful depiction of the classic Staunton design, adorned with contrasting colors on each side. The Antipodean series Chessmen put a unique twist on the traditional look, incorporating artisanal touches. With its charmingly carved knight and subtle elegance, this set stands out without being overly ornate. Inspired by the concept of facing challenges within oneself, both sides feature the same colors, emphasizing the idea that the toughest adversary can often be oneself. The exquisite grains and luxurious hue of the exotic Rosewood elevate these Chessmen to a whole new level. Each piece has been meticulously polished, triple weighted, and felted on the base, ensuring everlasting quality and durability.
With the immense success of The Queens Gambit on Netflix and the sharp rise in popularity of chess, we present the Antipodean Chess Men on the Queens Gambit chess board. While not an exact replica, this set is reminiscent of the scene where Beth and Borgov meet at the 1968 USSR Chess Championship. Measuring at 19.7 inches, it is a true tournament-sized board with a sleek, matte finish made from dyed black popular and ash root. The surface allows for smooth movement of your pieces without any distracting high gloss finish.
Crafted by the renowned Rechapados Ferrer, this beautiful board radiates sophistication and elegance. You can trust in the highest quality of this board, as it is FIDE approved and used in prestigious chess championships, including World Chess, European Chess, and US Chess Federation.
