Tournament-approved Staunton design. Modern classics inspired by the greatest tournaments of the modern chess era. This set, beautifully re-imagined by Tempest, originally debuted in the 1959 World Championship Candidates super-tournament in Zagreb, Croatia and became an instant classic. It has a cold-war era but thoroughly modernist feel, removing unnecessary decoration in favor of minimalist design and clarity.
All Tempest sets come with 2 additional queens (for pawn promotion).
Includes an elegant hand-made wooden storage box, something you would ideally always have out on a shelf, so it's always ready-to-play and beautiful to display. Two soft pouches are also included for piece storage.
