German Staunton Black - The World's Most Popular Design Ebonized

German Staunton is the most common choice in tournaments and clubs worldwide. FIDE-approved, durable design without unnecessary details. Hand-carved pieces from boxwood: light pieces in natural tones, dark pieces ebonized to deep black.

When both colors are carved from the same wood species, the feel is uniform. Weighted with iron, felted pieces - the dark pieces stand out beautifully against the walnut's gentle background.

Walnut's Gentle Serenity

Walnut's grayish, gentle tones create the perfect background for ebonized pieces. This chessboard doesn't compete for attention with the pieces but lets them shine. Walnut's natural calmness makes even long matches pleasant to the eyes.

Balance for the Playing Experience

When walnut's understated elegance meets ebonized German Staunton Black pieces, a chess set emerges that offers the best of both worlds. Enough contrast for an engaging experience, yet calm enough for long, focused sessions.
