The quality of production of this chess set makes it a truly unique collectors set to treasure and a piece of genuine Jaques chess history.
Each piece in the set uses John Jaques' original design from the 1890's and they are all crafted from fine Boxwood and jet black Ebony to make a precision copy of the original Fischer Spassky Chess Set.
Each Chess set piece is heavily weighted and cushioned with rich English leather in the original Jaques Staunton chess set traditional style. The white King is marked “Jaques London” and the King’s Rook Chess Piece and King’s Knight Chess Piece bear the mark of a crown on their summits. The visual impact of each Staunton chess piece is striking, combining both robustness and grace; From the graceful angular Bishop’s headpiece with its distinctive wide open cut, to the exquisite hand-crafted two-piece Knight taken straight from the visages of those magnificent steeds gracing the Parthenon, this truly is one of Jaques finest creations. Even the King’s Formée cross finial is accurately detailed and can be easily removed.
The Fischer Spaskky Chess set is housed in a fine English made Jaques chess set box with perfect custom made miniature brass lock and key.
The Fischer Spassky Chess Set case is lined and carries a replica of the Original Jaques Staunton Chess set label that was used to celebrate the world famous Fischer Spassky Chess game in 1972.
The Jaques label in this set is a replica of the Chess set label that was signed by Howard Staunton (the chess legend!) himself and is signed by the current Company Directors, the direct descendants of the famous Jaques Chess set designer - John Jaques the Third.
Each hand carved Chess set of these heirloom quality chessmen also comes as standard with four Queen Chess Pieces.
