Own a piece of chess history with the Official World Chess Championship Chess Set - the only set of chess pieces officially approved by FIDE for use in World Chess Championship events. Designed by the renowned Pentagram architect Daniel Weil, these pieces are inspired by the proportions of classical Greek architecture combined with the iconic Staunton design, creating a timeless yet distinctive set. Weil worked closely with elite chess players, including Magnus Carlsen and Vladimir Kramnik, during the design process. First unveiled at the 2013 World Championship Candidates Tournament in London, these chessmen have since become the gold standard for tournament play. This is the same set that graced the 2018 Carlsen-Caruana match and has been used in the previous three World Chess Championship matches. Expertly crafted from high-grade boxwood, the dark pieces undergo a chemical ebonization process, giving them the appearance of ebony at a fraction of the cost. Each set of chessmen is securely shipped in a special storage box to protect the pieces when not in use. The set is paired with a stunning wenge chessboard, also designed by Pentagram. This official World Chess Championship board is used in every World Chess Championship event. Crafted from the finest wenge and maple veneers, the 19.7-inch board features the World Chess Hexagon logo inlaid on both sides. The 2-inch playing squares are ideal for pieces with up to a 4-inch king. For added protection when not in use, the board comes with its own storage bag. Whether you're a beginner or aspiring Grandmaster, this set is the perfect choice for any chess player looking to own a piece of chess history.
