If you're trying to encourage enthusiasm in a young player, this beautiful Worldwise Imports French knight set is a great way to get started. It features natural boxwood and solid ebony pieces that combine elegance with conventional form. Boxwood is a fine-grained hardwood that gives white pieces a golden buttery color, while the ebony chessmen display a rich hue that may range from dark red to jet black. Both of the 3-inch kings and their armies are carefully crafted and triple-weighted for balance and stability. The handsome ebony-and-maple-veneer board, measuring 12L x 12W x 5 inches tall, is a sure to catch the eye of any young chess aficionado that happens by. Committed to enhancing what is felt by many to be the greatest game ever invented, Worldwise Imports understands the importance of making high-quality chess sets available to players of all levels.
