Tournament chess sets

The pieces are weighted with metal in the base and felted, so they stand firmly and glide quietly over the board. Most sets come with extra queens for pawn promotion, and several with a board that folds into a box with the pieces inside.

If you play at a club and want the same dimensions at home, this is the right category. To choose board and pieces separately, see wooden chessboards and wooden chess pieces, or use the size guide.
