Official World Chess Pieces – FIDE Approved

World Chess is proudly introducing Official World Chess Pieces that are the only chessmen approved by FIDE for use in World Chess Championship cycle events. First introduced at the 2013 Candidates Tournament in London, they later became the official World Chess Championship pieces used in the 2018 Carlsen–Caruana match and three previous world title events.

For buyers who want championship-standard pieces with real tournament heritage, this set combines official status, collectible value, and practical over-the-board performance.

This set includes all chess pieces needed for standard play, presented in official championship style. The six pieces of chess are the king, queen, rook, bishop, knight, and pawn, with a full army for both sides. That makes the set useful not only for people who looking for official equipment, but also for players searching for all chess pieces in one complete, high-standard ensemble. In addition to the main set, two extra queens are included for promotion scenarios.

Each weighted chess set is hand-carved from ebonized boxwood and hand-polished for a smooth professional finish. The triple-weighted construction improves balance and stability on the board, giving the pieces a more confident feel during play and helping them perform like true tournament equipment rather than lightweight display pieces. A bespoke storage box is included to protect the set between games and while in storage.
