The Bobby Fischer (Reg. U.S. Pat. & Tm. Off.) Ultimate Chess Set has
a long and storied history. First brought about by Dewain R. Barber and
Jay Blem to give the chess market a sturdy, reliable tournament set
that would not break the bank. The pieces are ergonomically engineered
to feature smooth surfaces and seamless edges to make extended games
comfortable and a joy to play. The large-headed pawns and bishops, and
the grooved knight's stem are easier to grasp. Heavy and durable, this
set became the iconic plastic chess set here in the United States. The
original Ultimate chess pieces are making their debut in a new wooden
form with these beautiful kiln-dried Sheesham and boxwood pieces. The
3.625 inch king has been increased to 3.75 inches. The base size has
been widened so the weight could be increased. At 3.527 lbs., it is one
of the heaviest wood sets for its size on the market.
