This new game, never used, was manufactured in France in the Jura Mountains - the historic cradle of the manufacture of chess sets - by a company which ceased production more than twenty-five years ago. It presents a manufacturing standard that is a little below the level of excellence of current French production: boxwood being a natural material which evolves over time, parts may be slightly deformed or present some minor appearance defects. However, this game is perfect for.
