Reykjavik II Chess Set
Ebony Chess Pieces

There are few, if any, chess players who do not know that Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky contested one of the most widely followed world title matches in history in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1972. What is not so well known, however, is that they played on one of the finest chess sets ever produced by the famous Staunton craftsmen, John Jaques & Son of London.

Now you can own a replica of this historically important set. This new Staunton pattern Reykjavik II Series is perfect in every detail, and comes in three editions: ebonized, rosewood and ebony.

A crowning touch is that each chess set comes with four Queens, two black and two white. No more upside-down rooks when promoting to a second Queen. The sets are perfectly weighted, with the Reykjavik II King being 3.75" tall with a 1.75" diameter base. You couldn't ask for a finer crafted set in this price range.
