The Traveller Staunton chess set by “Royal Chess Mall”.

What they did…

This exceptional chess set is aptly named after Traveller, the renowned American Saddlebred Warhorse from the American Civil War. Much like the legendary stallion, the design of these pieces has been crafted for strength and stability, ensuring superior performance on the chessboard. While adhering to the traditional Staunton pattern, the distinct curvature of each piece allows them to stand out with an elegant uniqueness. Luxuriously carved by master craftsmen, this set is designed to last for generations, making it a true heirloom that players will cherish for years to come.

My opinion of this design…

This set is absolutely magnificent! Its presence commands attention and turns heads whenever it’s unveiled in public. While I rarely bring it out for regular play—partly because the thought of accidentally damaging a piece is unimaginable—there are times I simply can’t resist. Every once in a while, I indulge, knowing full well the allure of such a masterpiece is too hard to ignore!
