Chess pieces for 40 cm chessboards

Chess pieces for 40 cm boards made in our workshop

The chess pieces for 40 cm boards are small in size, yet practical and offer the same characteristics as larger sets. The design is identical and the craftsmanship as well—they are handmade, with many operations performed manually. Crafted from high-quality wood, we offer them in three colors (walnut, mahogany, and black) and two finishes (matte or glossy), so you can choose according to your taste and match them with a beautiful board. They’re typically considered small to medium-sized, similar to a Staunton No. 3. Placed on a 40 cm board with 40 mm squares, you’ll have a well-proportioned set that fits easily into any drawer or cabinet. It’s also a good size to gift to a beginner or a casual player.

Handcrafted chess pieces for 40 cm boards

At Mora Play, we specialize in crafting high-quality chess pieces. It all began with Industrias del Ajedrez, which in the 1940s was already producing handcrafted boxwood chess pieces—always with its own unique designs. They created the famous Iberian Staunton, which remains the centerpiece of most national tournaments to this day. Today, we offer over 60 chess set options, allowing you to choose from a wide range of models, sizes, and colors. Furthermore, we are the only chess piece manufacturer in Europe that produces entirely on-site.
