The Chess Set shown in the photograph consists of a triple weighted Match Play wooden chess set with felted bases turned in a Staunton Pattern with a King that is 9.8cm high. The pieces are stored in a velvet lined wooden box with a name plate bearing the owners name. During match play the pieces rest on a high quality Match Play wooden board consisting of 5.5cm squares. The board has a full felt underlay. This Match Play set and board only comes out on special occasions. The last time was in 1998. Playing Jeffers is special, and every time I move, I sip the red wine and raise a glass to 'absent friends'.
