The Bobby Fischer® 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 knightâs
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 Redwood 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.
