This half set includes 17 pieces (one full side plus an extra queen), meeting FIDE height and proportion standards. The king measures 3.75 inches tall with a 1.438-inch diameter base. Designed for tournament play or club use, these durable plastic pieces have felt bottoms for smooth gliding on the board. Pair two different color half sets to create a complete, custom chess set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do these chess pieces compare to standard tournament sets?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pieces follow the Staunton design and comply with FIDE standards for height and base dimensions. The 3.75-inch king is within the typical tournament range (3.375 to 4.5 inches). The purple color is the main difference: it’s a bright, consistent hue that stands out without affecting functionality. The plastic construction provides a balanced weight for stable play, while the felt bottoms protect your board and reduce noise. Because this is a half set, you’ll need another color to complete a full set—mixing and matching is encouraged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuild your own team colors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach half set contains 16 standard pieces plus one extra queen, giving you flexibility for promotions or replacement. The purple pieces can be paired with any other Color Bright half set (sold separately) to represent school or club colors. This makes them popular for chess teams, tournaments, and themed games. The plastic is sturdy enough for frequent handling, and the colors remain vibrant over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKing Height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.75 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKing Base Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.438 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic with felt bottoms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePiece Count\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 pieces (half set + extra queen)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFIDE Compliance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes (height and proportions)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these pieces legal for FIDE tournaments?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, the dimensions match FIDE standards for tournament chess pieces.
