Pawn:1.73(4.4cm),; Board Measrures 18.9"W x 1.97"H x 18.9"D (48cmx5cmx48cm). Squares Measure 1.97"x1.97" (5cm x 5cm).; Board is made from beech, mahagony, and sycamore. Felt bottom chessmen are made hornbeam. Hand crafted in Poland Review: Nice board for the $ - It's basically a travel version of the Staunton Tournament 5 Board and Pieces for under $80/us. Presently, that's a good deal and the set arrived flawless. Board lays flat and no gaps. Probably wouldn't notice it was a fold-up board at a glance. The board as a case is functional though I'll likely remove the fake felt plastic cutouts and insert memory foam, and perhaps replace the clasps and hinges with something more substantial. Good platform to work with for the money. Also note, as of the time of this writing, the Tournament 5 Pieces are difficult to find aside from buying this set. One small downside of most sets (still 5 stars), it is a 32 piece set, thus no "spare" queens. So, I'll wait for the Tourney 5 Pieces to come back in stock at a good price then buy another set of pieces and a non-fold version Tourney 5 board and have spares for both.

These chess sets are popular in Europe, where wood seems to be favored over plastic pieces and vinyl boards. As for this chess set, I am pleased with it. I like the chess board/box especially. The 2 inch squares are a good size, not too big and bulky, but easy to play on. The finish is fine, although I will probably apply a wood wax just to shine it up a bit. Some people don't like the green inserts that hold the chess pieces in place, but it doesn't bother me. You always have the option of removing the insert and replacing it with foam or felt. The pieces are well defined and easily identifiable, but not overly refined. They are designed for play, not for show, although I think that they are pleasant enough to look at. Fancier pieces are available at places like House of Staunton, but for a price. The set includes 32 pieces, although extra queens are available through Yellow Mountain (and Amazon) for a small fee. If this is a gift for someone, they would probably appreciate the extra queens. I am happy with the set and I would purchase it again and recommend it to others. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tournament No.5 Staunton Chess Set - How to Win at Chess: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners and Beyond - DGT3000 LE - Fide Approved Limited Edition Chess Timer… --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2005977-tournament-no-5-staunton-chess-set](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2005977-tournament-no-5-staunton-chess-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
