The pieces, 1.3 inches tall, are nickel silver and 24K gold plated, made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEndfield studied drama at Yale alongside mathematics, mechanical drawing and silversmithing, worked as a sleight-of-hand magician and directed films including Zulu. His friendship with Man Ray drew him to chess. FIDE president Max Euwe chose this 1972 design as the federation’s sole commemorative set for the Fischer–Spassky World Championship match, and Endfield was granted a patent for it. IC Design presents this edition as marking the 50th anniversary of the Fischer–Spassky match, with the folding board made in Switzerland by the social workshop tät-tat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e IC Design (Zurich)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cy Endfield Travel Chess Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cy Endfield, 1972\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pieces: nickel silver and 24K gold plated (USA); board: stainless steel and ecologically neutral HPL (Switzerland)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoard folded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5\" × 2.75\" × 0.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoard open:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.75\" square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 1.3\" × Ø 0.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA (pieces) and Switzerland (board)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e IC-CYTC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces: nickel silver and 24K gold plated (USA); board: stainless steel and ecologically neutral HPL (Switzerland)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Cy Endfield (1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in USA (pieces) and Switzerland (board)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIC Design edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTravelers, chess players, gifts for collectors and desks.
