Modern staunton (I)

It is a staunton set.

The set is a simplified staunton model.

It has leather instead of felting.

There are very similar sets of different sizes with slightly variations in some of the pieces.

This model has been used and marketed as the Judit Polgar's chess set by DGT, but it is possible to find variations by almost any Indian manufacturer.

Also it has been marketed as the "Paul Morphy" or "York Series" chess set with a more classic design and proportions, although the knight carving is really similar.

Bought in 2013 in Chessbazaar (India)

Boxwood and ebony, weighted.

This set has a king 75mm-30mm of and a pawn of 40mm-24m. It suits best in 45mm chessboards.

This set is smaller than the usual sets of this kind. Also there are some minor differences in rooks and bishops with the Judit Polgar's chess set.
