A classic for decades, the recreated Bobby Fischer Ultimate Tournament Chess Pieces give the chess player the ultimate chess-playing experience. The unmistakable feel of these heavily weighted pieces, an impressive 9.5 lbs, provides an extra level of confidence for your game.
The Ultimate Chess Set has a long history. Dewain Barber and Jay Blem brought the chess market a sturdy and reliable tournament set. The pieces are ergonomic, smooth, and seamless resulting in extended games that are a joy to play. Large-headed pawns and bishops as well as a grooved knight are easier to grasp. Both heavy and durable, the set became an recognized plastic chess set in the United States.
