Experience a piece of chess history with this meticulously crafted reproduction of the early 1900s American Chess Company chess set. Handcrafted from ebony and boxwood, each piece reflects the robust and solid design characteristic of the original set, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional stability.

The original set gained prominence during the prestigious 1904 Cambridge Springs International Chess Congress, the first major international chess tournament in America in the twentieth century. This tournament featured seven of the world's top ten players, including renowned figures like Emanuel Lasker, Dawid Janowski, and Frank Marshall, who emerged victorious.

Historically, these sets were available in various sizes, ranging from 3.25 inches to 4.4 inches, and were offered in both weighted and unweighted versions. The original pieces were sold in Ebony and Plain Boxwood, known for their thick, robust bodies that provided a solid and steady feel during play. 

This 3.9-inch King reproduction stays true to the original design, capturing the essence of vintage American craftsmanship. It's an ideal addition for collectors and chess enthusiasts seeking a blend of historical significance and timeless elegance.

Concise, well researched and objective; a great homeschool resource
This is a great read; sufficiently detailed to be worth the time spent, but not so bogged down in minutia that you find yourself wondering how long the chapter is going to go on and glancing ahead to see if it ends with a quiz. Particularly notable is the prose: flowing, easy to read, a comfortable narrative. You get a sense of the author relaxed in an easy chair, his audience gathered about, attentive ears regaled with true tales of valor, intrigue, and conquest. But you will find no glorification of war between these covers; rather a well-balanced rendering of man at his best within his worst. “Great Battles” is well researched, factual, and untainted with retroactive speculation and subjective parochialism that pervade some of today’s ‘historical’ accounts. In short, a valuable addition to any homeschool or military historian’s library; highly recommended.

FINALLY!
Format: Paperback
I was pleased to finally find an historical series written for young boys that neither "cartoonizes" war nor adopts a satirical, demeaning tone. Rather, these books depict the true sacrifices of the men involved in these conflicts. The facts are the facts. There is no politically correct hogwash clouding the child's view of the event. These are more mature historical articles about pivotal events no longer discussed in our public school! These books glorify the ideals scrapped by post-modernists -- bravery, chivalry, and heroism -- ideals that once defined masculinity and limited its so-called "toxicity." As a mother raising masculine gentlemen, I will continue purchasing these fine books! Thanks, Mr. Giorello! Keep writing!
