STAUNTON 'BULL' CHESS SET "TORINO 2006"

Exclusive Collector's item in fine ebony and boxwood. King measures 4" (100mm) with a base diameter of 1 3/4" (45mm) and all chess pieces have leather pads. Each piece is hand made by a master carver. Only 99 sets were originally made and sold at the 2006 Winter Olympics. These sets are available in numbered luxury boxes and are of the highest quality.

Here's a picture of the bulls and rooks:

The line up of the ebony and boxwood help to show the true elegance of this fine chess set.

Here's a picture of the pieces in the case:

The pure leather presentation case is included in the asking price.

The box is made of leather and each piece sits in it's own molded recess in a velvet covered carry tray.

Very few are now left and each set has an extra queen of each color. Every knight in this exclusive Staunton set is the figure of a rampant bull, the symbol of the host city of Turin.....and perhaps a stockbrokers dream?

Each set bears the Olympiad logo on a brass plate which denotes the set # in the series.
