TOURNAMENT No 8 burned folding board, insert tray, wooden chess pieces

This Tournament No. 8 burned folding chess set is a full-size wooden set for home play, club games and training, combining Staunton No. 8 pieces with a folding board that stores the full set inside.

The pieces are made from hornbeam wood. The king stands 115 mm tall, and the bases are fitted with soft pads to help the pieces move smoothly across the board. The pieces are unweighted, which gives the set a more traditional feel.

A folding board with built-in storage

The chessboard is made from beech and birch wood. It folds shut after play, so the full set can be stored together in one compact case. Inside, a felt-lined insert tray with separate recesses keeps the pieces organised and helps hold them in place during storage. The board has a burned and painted finish, giving it a clear, classic look.

With a 50 mm square size, this set is well suited to relaxed games at the table, game analysis and opening study. It is a practical choice for players who prefer a larger board and pieces.
