TOURNAMENT No 7 Inlaid (intarsia) - New Line, insert tray, wooden pieces

This Tournament No. 7 inlaid chess set is a large wooden set with a folding case that serves as both the chessboard and a storage box, so you can play on a full-size board and keep the pieces safely inside afterwards.

The set includes classic Staunton-style pieces with the familiar proportions used in club and tournament play. The king stands 100 mm high, giving the set clear presence on the board and making it practical for longer games and analysis. The pieces are handmade from hornbeam wood, weighted with metal and fitted with soft pads underneath to help them move smoothly across the squares.

The chessboard and case are made from beech, birch, mahogany and sycamore wood. Its inlaid finish gives the set a neat, traditional look, while the internal insert tray provides separate places for each piece. When closed, the case measures 500 × 250 × 60 mm.

Why it works so well in play

• a large board gives you a comfortable playing area and clear piece placement,
• the folding inlaid case doubles as both board and storage box,
• weighted pieces sit more securely in the hand and on the board,
• separate internal compartments help keep the full set organised.

This is a solid choice for regular play at home, in a club or at a desk. If you only need the pieces, you can also see the related STAUNTON No 7.
