Reykjavik Ebonised 3,5" chess pieces

Reykjavik 3.5-inch chess pieces are a complete Staunton-style set inspired by the pieces associated with the 1972 World Championship match in Reykjavik, with double weighting for a steadier feel in regular play, analysis and display.

The Reykjavik model takes its cue from one of the most recognisable styles in chess history, giving the set a classic look that suits both everyday use and a more formal board setup.

What sets this design apart

The key feature is the double-weighted construction. In practice, that means the pieces sit more securely on the board and feel more controlled in the hand, which is especially useful during longer games and analysis.

The set includes 34 pieces, with one extra queen for each colour. That makes pawn promotion straightforward without having to substitute another piece.

The size works well with chessboards that have 50–55 mm squares. For storage, you can pair the set with the Staunton No. 7 case.
