The Regency Chess Company Reviews:

Incredible service and products. Quality is amazing and the customer service is perfect too. Couldn't ask for more!

Google ReviewAlice HalleyReviewed 21/10/2023

I needed to make a speedy order, so I contacted The Regency Chess Company and they made sure they looked out for my name/order and got it sent off that same afternoon. When they noted an item I had ordered was out of stock they upgraded me to ensure we got the order in time. Super great service and so helpful they were on WhatsApp too - just really lovely to deal with. Thank you so much again!

THE CHESS SET
Set upon a 15.75 inch Spanish board made from walnut and maple, these chess pieces are superb in their detail.

An instantly recognisable Genghis Khan, with his flowing robes, helmet and facial features, leads The Mongolian Army who are resplendent in their traditional dress. His Queen is elegantly regal in her costume, and the tribesmen very threatening with their decorative shields and spears. However, Italfama gives us a outstandingly creative rook in the form of stunning miniatures of the ger (or yurt), the tent-like dwelling of the Mongolian people.

The Russian chessmen are traditionally dressed in typically Russian costume, from the tall burly King to his elegantly robed Queen and the Cossack bishop.

Even in the chain mail worn by the pawns and knights, the detail is incredible. The onion-domed dwelling, depicting the rook, is a perfect miniature of Russian architecture at that time.

The Russians v Mongolians Chessmen are also available without the board. Either way, this is a perfect set for someone interested in historical events.

THE HISTORY
Following the successful invasion of the Caucasus in 1221 and a small section of Russia in 1222 the Mongol rule over Russia was accelerated and lasted nearly 250 years.

Under the orders of Genghis Khan, generals Jebe and Subotai, marched through the perilous Caucasus Mountains, into Russia. Following a series of assaults and tactical manoeuvres, they seized the upper hand and ordered an all out attack on the Russianas. Ultimately, Prince Mstislav of Kiev capitulated provided they would remain unharmed on their return to Kiev. He was executed and his men slaughtered.

Cities were levelled and populations exterminated during further conflicts that took place over the years. Some 15 years after the death of Genghis Khan, the Mongolian Army had control over all of Russia and Old Sarai became the head quarters of the Mongol authority. Referred to as the Golden Horde, their control endured for almost 250 years.

Thanks to Ivan III of Moscow and the rise of the Muscovite state, the Mongol rule was broken in 1480

Please note that as these pieces are hand painted, there may be some inconsistencies in the level of detail and colour and therefore your pieces may be very slightly different from the images shown. Any inconsistencies however are minimal.

The chess board in this set has been expertly crafted by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain using precision laser cutting techniques and stunning wooden veneers combined with expert lacquering and finishing. The underside of the board is finished in a satin veneer that is a different colour from the playing surface of the board. The veneers used for the underside may vary in colour from batch to batch.
