Own a piece of chess history with the Official World Chess Championship Chess Set, the only set officially approved by FIDE for use in World Chess Championship events.

Designed by the world-renowned Pentagram architect Daniel Weil, the chess pieces draw inspiration from the proportions of classical Greek architecture and the iconic Staunton design, creating a set that’s both timeless and unique. Weil collaborated with elite chess players, including Magnus Carlsen and Vladimir Kramnik, during the design process.

This is the same set that was used in the 2018 Carlsen-Caruana match, as well as the previous three World Chess Championship matches. These chess pieces are expertly crafted from high-grade boxwood, and the dark side undergoes a chemical process called ebonization to give them the appearance of ebony without the price tag.

Each set ships in a special chess-piece storage box with a foam insert and base cut-outs for each piece.
