TOURIST CHESS SET

The Tourist set is small yet striking board with miniature pieces. What is truly amazing about it is, no compromise has been made on the superb quality and attention to detail. It is all crafted from solid hornbeam and beech wood. The burned folding chess board has a nice insert tray for the chess pieces storage inside.

Each chessboard grid is hand-painted in natural colours and burned on wood. In the middle of the half-folded board there is a liner covered with a green velour coating to store figures. Carved, varnished figures are made of solid wood (beech) and are glued on the bottom with a green felt.

The algebraic notation is stamped on the wood on the sides of the chessboard.

Algebraic notation (or AN) is the standard method for recording and describing the moves in a game of chess. It is based on a system of coordinates to uniquely identify each square on the chessboard.

Decorative metal clasps keep the board securely locked after play. The set is one of the best travel chess sets in our vast selection. This is a lovely little set and would make a great gift for any chess enthusiast.
