ID 1377679286 The Queen's Gambit Final Game Chess Set Ebonized & Boxwood Pieces with Queen's Gambit Board - 4" King
Inspired by the Netflix series, The Queen's Gambit, this unique handcrafted chess set is the same one used in the final game in which Beth beat Vasily Borgov in the 1968 Moscow Invitational Chess Tournament (watch the YouTube video clip above). The pieces are an old Latvian model from the Soviet era, and we have carefully reproduced each piece. These are ebonized and natural boxwood pieces with a semi-gloss lacquer finish for a rich luster. The king is four inches tall with a base diameter of 1.625" and are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board. We include two extra queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the set is, where it came from, the type of wood and when it was made. The chess board is also the same one used in the final match and made for us by Rechapados Ferrer who provided the same chess board used in the series. The board and pieces look terrific together and just like the one in tv show. This attractive board features solid black stained poplar for the dark squares and natural ash burl for light squares. A decorative black, red, and orange weave delimiter separates the squares from the frame and the board is sealed in a matte finish. The squares are 2.125" and the chess board measures 21.5" overall and has felt pads on the bottom. Interestingly, more people have watched this chess game with these pieces than any other chess game ever televised. Whether a collector or looking for one special chess set, playing chess with these pieces that Beth and Vasily battled with will add a special meaning to every game.Chess Pieces: Includes 34 Pieces with 2 Extra Queens for Pawn Promotion; Ebonized & Natural Boxwood; Semi-gloss Lacquer Finish; King Height: 4"; King Base: 1.625"; King Weight: 2.5 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 40 Ounces; Green Baize Pads (please note the photo shows red); Chess Board: Material: Black Stained Poplar & Ash Burl Veneer & Wood Materials; Finish: Polyurethane Matte Finish; Decorative Delimiter Separating Squares & Frame; Square Size: 2.125"; Dimensions: 21.5" x 21.5" x .5"; Imported from Spain, Rechapados Ferrer is the largest manufacturer and the most recognized name of high quality wood chess boards in the world;
