Why the dark side isn't black

On a light board, blue stands out from the cream color better than black, which can sometimes blend into darker squares. This is precisely why more non-black sets are being seen in tournaments. If your board is brownish or dark-toned, this combination provides a more legible position.

Double-weighted rosewood

Double-weighting means more metal has been added to the base than usual, keeping the piece stable even if the table is bumped. Rosewood is a hard, dense wood that stands up well to decades of use.
