About The 4" Grandmaster Series Chess Pieces - Ebonized

The full-size tournament style Grandmaster chessmen with 4" King are hand carved by master artisans from high grade woods. The pieces are heavily weighted for a superb chess playing experience and beautifully finished complete with a luxurious billiard felt base. The robust design can withstand rigorous chess games with no delicate points to break or chip.

These Grandmaster chessmen truly combine finesse and function - elegance amid frequent chess matches.

Ebonized Boxwood is created when Boxwood is specially stained to the black appearance similar to the desirable Ebony wood. This is ideal for those who like the black contrast at a reasonable price. The light pieces are finished in clear-stain Boxwood as with most sets of chess pieces.

    Very nice pieces and proof I don't have to spent a few hundred dollars for a nice wood chess set.

    Grandmaster Tiger Ebony

    The Chess Master Tiger Ebony set exceeded my expectations. It’s a wonderful set with a beautiful, dark, rich color. Everything about this board feels perfect. My family and I have truly enjoyed playing on it, especially because of its size—it fits perfectly on our living room coffee table, and we play almost every day. It’s not only a beautiful chess set but also works great as a coffee table decoration for when you are not playing, while still making you want to sit down and play. I would definitely recommend this set.

    My best chess set yet

    A beautiful chess set. The pieces are eye-catching, and their heft makes them downright addictive. My 8 year old was so inspired by it that he beat me twice in 24 hours.

    Grandmaster board and pieces set

    This is a very attractive and well made set. Construction of the board and pieces is spot on. As the Tiger Ebony is striped some may not be satisfied with it for the dark squares, but I find it works quite well particularly against the pure creamy white of the maple. The pieces are nicely finished and have a nice weight and good felting. Quite happy with the purchase. Turn around by Chess House was very timely. Time from order to delivery was less than a week (I'm in Georgia about as far from Chess House as one can get and still be in the US).

    Balance of elegance and playability

    I've wanted a tournament set made of wood for a while now, but I found sets that were either too elegant/expensive to feel comfortable using, or sets that were so basic they were ugly to me.

    This set strikes the balance: it's very pleasant to look at and yet feels durable. I'm not concerned about the pieces being handled or dropped. (Having the ability to buy replacement pieces adds to the piece of mind).

    I only have two minor points to nitpick. 1) I think more weight in the pieces would be ideal.
    2) I believe the king is taller than necessary or desirable compared to the rest of the pieces. Visually it looks unbalanced, and I've already seen players accidentally hit the king when reaching for other pieces.

    A Very Nice Set

    Not just a nice set for the price point, but a nice set period, It will replace my plastic OTB Tournament set.

    Beautiful pieces

    We got this set to go with our walnut chess table, also from Chesshouse. The pieces go beautifully with the table and are an excellent fit for the 2 1/4 inch squares. They also have a nice feel with their weighting. Highly recommend.

    Very nice pieces, shopping was very comfortable, only the Position "tax and duties" was quite expensive. But at least 4 Stars. Thank You!

    Rook was broken and little scratch

    Very high quality set but one of the black rooks was broken from its top and has little scracth on the board. I repaired both of them on my own because sending back from Turkey to USA is also an issue. Did not want to waste my time with writing emails, re packaging, re shipment etc. It may be the carrier's fault. I do not know.

    Excellent all around pieces

    I ordered this set along with The Stack Tournament and find this set a perfect size, nicely weighted, and reasonably priced. A nice compliment to The Stack which is a piece of art in of itself.
