Built for the Grind. Protected by the Sentry.

The Sentry Tournament Chess Set is the definitive choice for players who need more from their gear than a cardboard box. Designed for the everyday hustle of club nights, school tournaments, and travel, this kit provides a durable, professional-grade housing for your equipment while maintaining a slim, portable profile. It features tournament-grade Staunton pieces and a vinyl board that meet FIDE and CFC standards, ensuring you are always ready for official play.

What sets this kit apart is the Sentry carrying tube. Unlike soft bags, this hard plastic telescopic case creates a weather-resistant barrier against raindrops, dirt, and the standard bumps of a commute, ensuring your board unrolls perfectly flat every time. Available in multiple colours with a writable end-cap for easy identification, the Sentry is a practical, long-lasting solution for schools, clubs, and modern players committed to keeping their gear in tournament-ready condition.

♟️ABS CHESS PIECES♟️

♞ Standard Style: Staunton-style pieces recommended by FIDE (Fédération Internationale des Échecs aka the World Chess Federation) for international tournament play and also used in Canada in CFC (Canadian Chess Federation) events.

♞ Durable: Pieces made from durable ABS plastic that are extremely tough.

♞ Piece Type: You must choose between ONE of the following piece types.

  • Single-Weighted: Light yet sturdy—a solid economical option!
    • Individual Piece Weight (Approx.): King 26g, Queen 21g, Rook 13g, Knight 15g, Bishop 14g, Pawn 7g
    • Total Weight (Approx.): 405g
  • Triple-Weighted: The triple-weighted weighted pieces are approximately 2.2 times heavier than the single-weight pieces, more stable and less prone to toppling over when playing blitz or when you're in a time scramble!
    • Individual Piece Weight: King 53g, Queen 47g, Rook 36g, Knight 33g, Bishop 26g, Pawn 14g
    • Total Weight: 901g

♞ Standard Measurements: King height is 3.75” (9.5cm) with a 1.5” (3.8cm) base diameter and adheres to official FIDE Handbook C.02 “Standards of Chess Equipment” recommendations.

♞ Billiard Base Pads: Each individual piece’s base pad is made from billiard cloth, allowing for smooth and seamless movement of the pieces across the chess board.

♞ Extra Queens: Unlike most sets that come with only 32 pieces, this set comes with 34 pieces including two additional queens (one white and one black) for pawn promotion.

♟️VINYL CHESS BOARD♟️

🏁 Regulation-Size Dimensions: Vinyl Chess Board with 2.25” (5.7cm) regulation-size squares and a total chess board footprint of 20” x 20” (51 x 51cm). Meets FIDE and CFC standards for a tournament board.

🏁 Algebraic Notation Markings: Numerical rank and alphabetical file markings in accordance with standard algebraic chess notation are clearly displayed on all four sides. Great for beginners who are learning how to record and analyze their games.

🏁 High-Grade, Easy-to-Clean Vinyl: Manufactured from high-grade vinyl with a cloth backing, it rolls into a compact cylindrical shape for easy storage in a tube, quiver, or deluxe bag. Spill- and tear-resistant. Clean with soap and warm water, then wipe dry with a cloth or paper towel. Lies perfectly flat when laid out.

🛡️ SENTRY TELESCOPIC TUBE 🛡️

⚙️ Fully Adjustable: The telescopic design expands from 24.5" to 40", easily accommodating various board sizes or even two full sets of pieces for travel or bughouse.

⚖️ Lightweight Portability: Weighing only 360 grams, this case provides a hard-shell defense without adding unnecessary weight to your gear bag.

🔒 Secure Screw-Top: The cap screws on and off easily, providing a secure closure that stays put during transit.

🎒 Adjustable Shoulder Strap: Includes a durable, adjustable strap for comfortable, hands-free transport to your next tournament or club night.

🛡️ Durable Hard-Shell Protection: The resilient plastic construction shields your gear from the elements and the common impacts of travel while maintaining a slim profile.

🏷️ Easy Identification: Available in multiple colours with a writable end-cap to ensure your kit is never mixed up at the end of the night.
