Regular price
Our library series Chessmen is a beautiful yet functional design of chessmen that is best suited for analysis-type chess games or for use in your library or study.
All the chess pieces have a beautiful curvature to them with extra wide and squatty bases. They have a very low center of gravity making them hard to topple and very stable during play.
The craftsmanship quality of all the pieces is stunning with expert precision, which only an expert carver with years of experience can achieve.
They make for an excellent gift for a chess lover or if you want to indulge yourself with a beautiful design.
Information about wood: Acacia Wood is an excellent alternative to Golden Rosewood. It is similar priced as compared to Golden Rosewood and has good carving properties making it one of the most widely used woods for making chess pieces.
The wood is highly durable with medium density and is meant to withstand decades of use.

I wanted to add a "library-sized" set to my collection and saw this one on the RCM website. I expected this set to be lighter and smaller, but it's better described as stocky, but in a charming way. The acacia looks great and the design of the bishop really looks like a bishop's miter, yet is done with a strong and durable design. The horizontal lines on the rooks give them a brick tower looks and adds a touch of class. And it's a great value.

3.1" Library Series Staunton
Very unique set. Particular.
Hard to find anywhere else; I love it.
Acacia wood dark pieces are even better looking in person than they are in pictures, with nice veins and shades. Sturdy set, low centered, very heavy !!
Perfect for fast paced games ( bullet and so on...) .

Hybrid of Staunton & Calvert, Solid, Stable and Cute
This is a short, stout yet cute set. Style-wise it combines the practical elements of the Staunton style with design elements from Calvert style sets, clearly seen in the queen, bishops, knights and rooks. I especially like that they found particularly dark acacia wood for the dark side. I'll definitely be bringing this one with me to the cafe to show it off.
Note, I already submitted a review, but apparently it wasn't a "verified" review.

As advertised; delivered quickly; great product. Recommended for chess buyers.
Very high-quality set, especially for the money. A great value! The ideal pieces for a medium size analysis setup. Fits perfectly on a 2" board. King actually measures 3.25", including finial.
