TOURNAMENT No 5 (intarsia) - double queens included

This Tournament No. 5 intarsia chess set with double queens is a classic folding chess set in a popular tournament size, combining a 50 mm square board, clear notation and an elegant intarsia finish with extra queens included for games where promotion changes the position quickly.

This set is a practical choice for regular play at home, in a club or during training. The No. 5 format offers a good balance between comfortable play and easy storage. When closed, the chessboard becomes a storage case with a felt-lined insert and separate spaces for the full set of pieces and the extra queens.

A classic set for play and analysis

The set includes Staunton pieces made from hornbeam wood, with bases finished in protective felt to help guard the board as the pieces are moved. The king stands 90–92 mm high and has a 35 mm base diameter, giving the pieces a clear, easy-to-handle profile for longer games. The extra queens are a useful detail that removes the need to improvise when a pawn promotes.

The chessboard is made from beech, birch, mahogany and maple wood. Its intarsia finish gives it a traditional look, while the algebraic notation around the edge makes it easier to record and replay moves. That makes it especially useful for opening study, game analysis and more serious practice.
