The Bobby Fischer® Ultimate Chess Set has a long and storied history. First brought about by Dewain R. Barber and Jay Blem to give the chess market a sturdy, reliable tournament set that would not break the bank.

The original pieces are making their debut in a new metal form with these beautiful silver and black metal plated pieces. The king has been increased to 3.75 inches.
