Giant Garden Games

Now that spring is here the need to get out on the garden is ever present, the smell of freshly cut grass wafts through our open windows while the sun beams down on the cars being washed on the drive way. A sure sign that the days are longer, neighbours are chatting over the fence again, spring is here and summer is on it's way. Now that The Regency Chess Company has begun stocking a range of outdoor chess sets you can enjoy your favourite game in the fresh air. We have added a selection of durable outdoor chess games and a draughts set too. We have always said that no home should be without a set, but need to extend the statements to gardens too.

Travel Chess

Our range of travel chess sets is without doubt the best in the UK. We stock travel sets in a huge variety of sizes, from just 5 inches right up to 14 inches. Many of our travel games are unique to The Regency Chess Company and are only available through us or our authorized outlets. We stock both magnetic and non magnetic sets and our range features over twenty five different styles and sizes. All of these sets are stocked in our UK warehouse for immediate dispatch.

New Chess Boards

We recently added two new styles of chess board to our huge range. The first is a very high quality black anegre and maple board that has been finished in a stunning gloss lacquer. These boards are available in sizes from around eighteen inches up to over twenty three inches. The second is a brand new design of chess board and is exclusive to The Regency Chess Company. It features black anegre squares and a rich brown palisander border. Like the black boards this is finished in a gloss lacquer and available in four different sizes. Both boards feature fine inlaid veneers and have been manufactured in Europe to a very high standard of precision and quality.

The Antique Reproduction Chessmen

We have added two pre Staunton designs to our collection of fine luxury chessmen. The St. George and the Northern Upright - both presented in ebony and boxwood. These two designs were common place before the Staunton chess pieces become and standard choice for most chess players. Our reproduction sets are precise and exact copies of the originals and have been crafted to a standard that exceeds all expectations.

The third set of exact reproductions is our Reykjavik chessmen, named after the town where the world's most famous chess match took place in 1972. We are of course talking about the game between American Bobby Fischer and the Russian Boris Spassky. These chessmen are an exact and precise reproduction of the very same chessmen used in the famous game. Presented with a certificate of authenticity and deluxe storage case.

The Bath Chess Set

It's been a long time in the making, but our flag ship product is now in stock and on sale. The Bath Chess Set is a unique set of super luxury chessmen that have been designed around three key elements. The design encompasses elements of Staunton and pre-Staunton designs such an Northern Upright but takes most of it's fundamental design cues from classic Georgian architecture in the historical city of Bath.
The result is a chess set of resounding beauty, perfect preparations and absolutely divine quality. Made only from the finest exotic hardwoods and presented in a solid wooden casket, these chessmen are the ultimate collectors dream.
The set is produced as a limited edition with only fifty sets in production world wide.

Small Luxury Chess Sets

Our range of luxury chess pieces is by far the best in the United Kingdom, probably Europe. One thing that pretty much all luxury chessmen have in common is their size and scale. You will see that on most chess retailing websites the luxury pieces come with a minimum four inch king. Generally speaking size matters, and customers buying luxury chess sets want something quite grand that's going to make a big impression.

We have, however received repeated requests from customers to supply top quality luxury chessmen in smaller sizes so that they can place them on smaller boards. Not everyone has space in their home to display the huge chess boards required to accommodate large luxury chessmen. We have started by introducing our superb Sovereign series with a three inch king and our Sandringham series with a 2 and a half inch king size. These pieces can be placed on boards of nineteen and seventeen inches respectively. So, if you want the best quality chessmen money can buy, but want something smaller than usual, our range of small luxury chess sets is the perfect solution.

Patrick Moore, The Chess Enthusiast

The Regency Chess Company is thrilled to have been involved in the supplying of a custom chess set to Sir Patrick Moore. The set was presented by King Edward School of Bath who initiated the project after they spoke to Patrick to arrange a visit.

Patrick told the school that he loved to play chess but had trouble with his arthritis which resulted in him knocking the pieces over. He wanted a large pegged set, something that's not commercially available.

It is with the upmost regret and sadness to hear that Sir Patrick, aged 89, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday the 9th December 2012. May all of us at The Regency Chess company wish his family and close friends our sincere condolences.
