many countries of the East stake a claim to being the originator of chess, but of all the legends, none is as widely accepted as India's claim. Supported by both Arab and Persian texts dating back to 600 BC, it is believed that chass began as the Indian game "Chaturanga", a name which in Sanskrit means "Army of four quadrants". The most physically impressive of our chess sets, these large pieces can be used on any board with 2" squares or larger.
Durable polystone pieces, made from a mixture of polyurethane resin and powdered stone, have a satisfying weight and texture that will appeal to casual players and collectors alike.
