Wooden Sets and Boards
|
|
BCM has been commissioning and selling these sets for over a century
(virtually since the magazine was founded in 1881), and our reputation
is also your guarantee of quality and value. All of our weighted
pieces are varnished, with the bases covered in either felt or leather,
and great care has been taken over the aesthetic designs of the
pieces. You may be paying perhaps a half of the retail price that
would be asked in a department store.
Above is the 'Lasker' Chess Set - superlative value at only £35.50!
See below...
Choose from one of our recommended combinations, or mix and match
your own board, pieces and box. We also have chess sets available
as part of compendiums of games (with draughts, backgammon, etc)
- click here for details.

Steinitz Set, Wooden Chest and Petrosian Folding Board
£84.45 (save £7)
The Steinitz Set is the most popular boxwood and stained

Petrosian board (bottom right) in nut and maple, with a satin
finish) is the best folding wooden board we have seen; solid, sturdy,
backed with green felt. The Steinitz is also very effective with
the Executive board (at top right the Steinitz set is shown on
