   Arguably, the most beautifull Staunton stye chess set in the world

   For many years I have been searching for a chess set that I can not only play with but also to enjoy its artistic form and craftsmanship. Of course, I wanted Staunton style set, but I did not like any of the standard knight shapes (with the exception of one of the Imperial Staunton sets). In my search, I saw a few YouTube videos including one by Discovery UK about The Chess Empire and its chess making process. One can only admire hand craftsmanship of all people involved in the process.

   Then I saw Wellington 4.4″ set and its knights.

   Today (February 2021) I received my Wellington 4.4″ set and 2.5″ Player’s field Maple and African Padauk board. The set was delivered from Amritsar, PB India to Paris France. After opening the box, this stunning set took my breath away. One thing is sure, it is more beautiful in reality than on videos and photos. This set is a living proof that the real art is created by real people who dedicate their lives to their work, not by modern industrial process.

   Each of the hand-crafted pieces is manufactured to perfection with excellent weight and balance. It creates extraordinary sensation to just lift and move the pieces on this magnificent board.

   Despite of the current situation with Covid-19, the set was delivered as promised, the shipping cost was covered by The Chess Empire, and both the board and chess pieces were well protected for the long trip and arrived in perfect state.

   To me, I am convinced that The Chess Empire is focused on delivering luxury chess sets and to customer satisfaction, not to selling gimmicks. The result is one more happy client who is looking forward to spending time enjoying the game of chess with his friends and family.
