The Leningrad series comprises sets of quality large chessmen available in ebonised boxwood, acacia and anjan. The dark pieces in this particular set are crafted from acacia, a beautifully grained wood that is slightly lighter than Golden rosewood (sheesham).

These Leningrad Series Chessmen have become one of the best sellers on the Regency Chess website due to their quality of finish and weight. ‘The solid feel in hand’ is, in fact, a compliment we hear regularly from customers.

Not only do they boast this perfect balance, but the carving on the Leningrad chessmen is also slightly more ornate than most sets, especially on the knights. With their height and detailed carving, all the pieces look regal and elegant and this particular set enjoys two additional queens for pawn promotion. These large chess pieces are nicely weighted for perfect balance and naturally polished with plush flocked bases in green to protect the board. They are great for home and tournament use and look absolutely fantastic on our choice of a chess board for this combination.

As you know, the majority of chess boards available on the internet these days, are expertly crafted using thin, real wood veneers. This is standard practice and was widely preferred as solid wood, if not prepared correctly, warps and cracks, causing all sorts of heartache.

Our highly skilled craftsmen have created a board using solid blocks of wood to create the playing area, without the risk of warping or cracking.

Superb high-quality grades of acacia, ebony and maple have been prepared and treated to create this absolute masterpiece of a board. Due to its expanse and immense square size, this board is a perfect battleground for the Leningrad chessmen. A truly striking combination that would be an enviable focal and talking point for any home.
