The Zagreb chess set is a unique and elegant design that gained prominence during the 1959 Candidates Tournament held in Zagreb. Distinguished by its distinctively larger and wider bases, especially the knight, which features a stylized and bold look, this set became an iconic representation of mid-20th-century chess aesthetics. The contrasting dark and light wood pieces, with their intricate carvings and rounded tops on bishops and pawns, make it visually appealing. This set has since become a favorite among collectors and players for its historical significance and timeless design.
