The lathe work on each chess piece is noteworthy, especially the unique collar rings and elegant curves. Knights have a divergent style of carving on each side making even more captivating pieces from different angle views. There are 4 cuts in the turrets of the rook. Like most of the Soviet/Russian chess sets, the King finial and queen ball is of opposite color. All chess pieces have a wide base which adds another interesting dimension to the set.
This chess set was designed without any religious symbols, without the king crown or bishop mitre cut.
