This is the largest and most elegant teak chess set in the world — with a king fully six feet tall

Imagine the impact on guests walking in to see these exotic, larger-than-life-size chess figures. Picture them walking among the pieces, looking up at the cross on the king.

When only the top-of-the-line will do, this is the chess set with no peer.

And consider more than size. Run your fingers along teak's flowing grain patterns, and you will own an art form that has inspired kings and queens.

Warning

This is not a MegaChess set for unsupervised children. They can tip the pieces on themselves, and be injured.

When planning a playing area, consider the minimum size of the square of a chessboard as the diameter of the base of the king (19 inches). That minimum would be a chessboard 12 feet and 8 inches on each side. Optimum would be 24-inch squares, which is also a standard for tile sizes (sometimes made up of four 12" tiles), yielding a chessboard 16 feet on each side.

Pricing Note

As of this writing, teak lumber sells for $8/lb at most hardwood retailers in the US. That will go up over time. A large teak MegaChess set sells for a fraction of this raw material cost.

Considered as an investment, the value of a teak MegaChess set doesn't depreciate — it goes up in value as teak grows more scarce. After over a thousand years, a chess set is not going to go out of style. A MegaChess set has no moving parts, hence nothing to wear out. It will be a family treasure to pass down through many generations.

A MegaChess set is like buying gold that you can enjoy!

To lift the pieces, look to the weight of the queen (100 pounds). Although the king is heavier, his one-square move is done with a simple roll along the edge of the base. The queen has a standard collar 35 inches from the floor that is convenient for lifting. This is the only MegaChess set that comes with a dolly, modified for chess playing. Do not lift these pieces without the dolly.

To transport the entire MT72 chess set, plan on one full-size pickup truck or equivalent. The best approach is to lay the major pieces on their sides with padding.
