The Regency Chess Company Green Leningrad Series Anjan Chess Pieces - 4 Inch

The Regency Chess Company

Large, quality pieces. Crafted from beautiful anjan wood. Weighted and felted. 4-inch (102 mm) king. Two additional queens. Ideal for a 20-inch (50cm) board or larger. The Leningrad series comprises sets of quality large chessmen available in ebonised boxwood, acacia and now they are available in the stunning anjan wood. Scientifically known as Hardwickia, Anjan is indigenous to India, where it is the hardest and heaviest of the timbers from trees found in the country. It is also very durable and termite-resistant. Anjan has a colouring that is not dissimilar from the lovely, deep, rich hues you find in rosewood, and therefore creates some very beautiful chess pieces. The Leningrad carving is slightly more ornate, especially on the knights. With their height and stature, all the pieces look regal and elegant. Like the other pieces in this series, these large chessmen are perfectly weighted and naturally polished with plush flocked bases in green applied to the bases. They are ideal for use in the home and perfect for tournament use. Pair with boards of 20 inches (54 cm) or more to create your set.
