Nothing can heighten your Chess playing experience more than
the feel and weight of finely crafted Staunton Chess set. We are proud to offer
a masterpiece from the House of Staunton, the heirloom quality Marshall
Series
Chessmen. These are far superior to any production Staunton pattern chess set
available today at ANY PRICE! The set features exquisitely
carved Knights and four Queens, a standard introduced
by The House of Staunton over 10 years ago
As
with all House of Staunton
Chessmen, they exemplify the
perfect combination of beauty
and functionality. The design,
quality and craftsmanship of
this set is UNMATCHED by any set
of Chessmen in its price range.
Nothing even comes close!
It has been designed to withstand the rigors of practical play
while maintaining an elegance which has become the hallmark of a House of Staunton chess
set.
The Marshall
Series Chessmen are exquisitely carved and very heavily weighted,
with a 4.4" King and a 2.0"
diameter base. The chessmen weigh a massive 90 ounces.
This set comes standard with four
(4) Queens.
The Chess Set comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity and a
paper original manufacturer's label indicating the production number, with an
adhesive backing that would allow it to be affixed to the underside of a Chess
box.
The chessmen are brand new and come housed in a cardboard box.
Box Upgrades are also available! Please contact
us for more details.

Frank J. Marshall
|
Frank Marshall, of the United States, is considered to
be one of the greatest American Chess players ever. He was the United
States Chess Champion from 1909-1936, a reign of 27 years that is
unlikely to ever be equaled. Frank was one of the original Chess
Grandmasters, a title that was granted by Russian Tsar Nicholas II in
1914.
In the 1930's, Marshall captained the US team to four
gold medals at four Chess Olympiads. After one round, he returned to
the board and found that his comrades had agreed to three draws. After
he finished his own game, he gave each of them a stern talk
individually on how draws don't win games or matches. They received
the message and went on to achieve tremendous Olympic success. The
U.S. team has never repeated the great successes of Marshall's teams.
Marshall was best known for his great tactical skill.
One aspect of this was the "Marshall swindle", where a trick
would turn a lost game around. Not so well known now, but appreciated
in his day, was his endgame skill. He is one of the few players who
defeated 3rd World Champion Jose Raul Capablanca with the black
pieces, in a game that is considered one of the finest displays of
endgame mastery ever played.

These Chessmen are crafted from premium Boxwood
and Blood Rosewood. Blood
Rosewood is
a very rare and expensive hardwood that has a very striking appearance. It is
red/burgundy in color that will darken over time and eventually have the color
of a dark red wine. For more than 4,000 years, Blood Rosewood has been widely
regarded as a sacred wood by Asian cultures and is treasured for its aromatic
and medicinal properties.
