WE Games Orange Plastic Staunton Chess Pieces – 3.75 in King, Tournament Half Set with Extra Queen

The WE Games Color Bright Plastic Staunton Tournament Chess Pieces are a half set of 17 orange pieces designed for FIDE tournament play, with a king height of 3.75 inches. These pieces offer a vivid alternative to standard black and white, making them ideal for chess clubs, school teams, or anyone wanting to add a personal color to their game. Sold as a half set, you choose two colors (like orange and another) to complete a full set of 32 pieces.

How do these pieces meet tournament standards?

These chessmen follow the World Chess Federation's (FIDE) height and proportion guidelines. The king stands at 3.75 inches tall with a 1.438-inch diameter base, matching regulation dimensions. The plastic construction ensures consistent weight and balance across all pieces, while the classic Staunton design remains recognizable in any competition. The wide base provides stability during play, and the felt bottoms allow smooth gliding on any board.

What's included in the half set?

This half set contains 17 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, eight pawns, and one extra queen. The extra queen is a thoughtful addition for tournament players who may need to promote a pawn or replace a lost piece. To get a complete chess set with two colors, simply purchase another half set in a different shade—such as green or blue—and you'll have a full 32-piece set.

Sizing and build details

Can you mix colors for a full set?

Absolutely. These half sets are designed for mixing and matching. Pick two colors—say orange and green—to create a bright, unique chess set that stands out. This approach works great for school chess clubs wanting to show team colors, or for players who want a more personal board. Just remember to select two colors when ordering to get a full set of 32 pieces.

Why choose a colorful half set?

Beyond tournament legality, the bright orange pieces stand out on the board, making it easier to distinguish pieces during fast play. The felt bottoms protect your board surface from scratches and allow smooth, quiet sliding. The plastic is durable enough for regular use in classrooms, clubs, or at home. And because they're sold as half sets, you can expand your collection with different colors over time, mixing and matching as you like. The color is molded into the plastic, so it won't chip or fade like paint.
