After purchasing the magnificent first version of this set with antiqued boxwood pieces, I just had to add the second version in natural boxwood. The Golden Castle Craftsmen is a superb reproduction in every way, to be enjoyed by both the tournament player and collector.
The original Japanese Golden Castle set were made to resemble the vintage Jaques of London sets. Kudos to the Indian Chess Company and Gurpreet Singh Khokhar for this classic reproduction made in the spirit of the Golden Castle Craftmen-Jaques of London connection. A superb playing set for blitz or tournament play offering a heavily weighted 3.5" set with wide-base pieces. A fabulous set for the collector with finely turned pieces, exquisite hand carved knights. The ebony and polished natural boxwood pieces are so impressive. So if you looking for a chess set that has it all, here you are, The Indian Chess Company Golden Castle Craftsmen Reproduction.
