Twelve sides, cut so the corners fall away at angles, with wide borders carved in a fine lattice and the double-headed eagle of Russia inlaid at each end of the field. Set on a table it looks less like equipment and more like something that was made for the room — which is the point of a carved chess set at this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pieces are wood: 32 of them, turned in beech and walnut, warm and quiet against all that carving. That is a deliberate balance. The board is doing plenty already, so the army stays classic and lets you actually see the position. A full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field with maple inlay, folding down to half its width when you are done — a handmade chess set built for long games and a permanent place to put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwelve-sided folding chess board with brass fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 turned chess pieces in beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen board: 23.6 x 23.6\" \/ 60 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: 23.6 x 11.8\" \/ 60 x 30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 kg \/ 11 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid beech and walnut wood with maple inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntirely handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwelve-sided board — a shape you will not find on another set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Russian double-headed eagle inlaid at both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine lattice carving right across the wide borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull 23.6\" \/ 60 cm field, and it still folds in half\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Double-Headed Eagle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagle looks two ways at once, east and west, and has done since it arrived in Russia in the fifteenth century.
