Reykjavik 3.5 Inch Chess Pieces – Ebonised Boxwood
Own a legendary piece of chess history. These beautifully crafted pieces are inspired by the exact set used in the iconic 1972 World Championship match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky in Reykjavik. This match wasn't just about chess — it was a symbolic Cold War duel that ended years of Soviet dominance. Although Fischer lost the first two games, he came back stronger and eventually won 12½ to 8½, making history.
Each piece is carved from premium boxwood and polished to perfection. The dark pieces are ebonised, offering the deep, rich look of real ebony.
