Piero
Benzoni - For those unfamiliar with his
artistry, interpretation, and depth of design, he is unparalleled.
Each piece is finished to perfection.
Not a chess table but a War Table…big
enough to contain an immense field of battle so that both
Kings can take the measure of his or her opponent in a setting
fit for this Royal Game. The size of the table offers a superb
clarity of view abetting the deep analysis of strategy and
tactics commensurate with the skill and accomplishments of
the players. The ability to walk around the table to survey
the game and positional settings adds immeasurably to the
joy of the game. Nothing takes the game to its war derived
roots like this set. The Chess Pieces and table are Bronze
Highlighted with Gold with an onyx board. The Table is 49.5"
Sq...The King: 12.6"
