Minimalist Staunton Alternative: The 3.8" Bundesform German Chess Pieces

This one’s an alternative to the traditional Staunton chessmen that feels different, yet conforms to the tournament standards. The set of Bundesform chess pieces emerged in Germany during the 1930s. Representing a classic European silhouette, it gained international fame during the 1936 Munich Chess Olympiad.

The Bundesform (Federal Form) features a clean visual and highly functional design. Stripping the fragile, ornate details, these pieces are carefully proportioned to offer durability, clarity, and a smooth playing experience. Each piece is handcrafted by master artisans from Ebonised boxwood (dark side) and natural boxwood (light side). Chess players, collectors, and historians seeking distinctive tournament chess equipment continue to admire this set even today.

Key Features

  • Historical Authenticity: A reproduction of the classic German tournament chess style, based on the early 20th-century European heritage
  • Distinct Staunton Alternative: A simplified, robust design with the iconic, unadorned knight makes this set incredibly durable for rapid, blitz, and heavy club games.
  • Premium Hardwoods: Handcrafted from high-quality Boxwood (natural and ebonized) to create the authentic Ebony look with exceptional structural integrity
  • Tournament-Ready Proportions: The 3.8-inch King with a wide 1.4-inch base offers an excellent board presence for serious games and extended analysis sessions
  • Ready for Promotion: The two extra queens (34 pieces total) allow for seamless pawn promotion during competitive matches

Ideal For

  • Tournament & Club Play: Practical proportions (compliant with tournament standards) support competitive gameplay environments
  • Chess Collectors of Historians: Highly sought-after design for chess enthusiasts interested in the early 20th-century European heritage
  • Minimalist Chess Enthusiasts: The simplified styling appeals to players who prefer clean, uncluttered chessmen

Great results for over a year (as needed).
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
This brand was recommended by a staff member at my local co-op; they generally know a good deal about their products. I've used it for a year and I get great results with the sublingual tablets. They dissolve under my tongue in 10-15 minutes. The orange flavor is nice, but remember to rinse all of the toothpaste from your mouth or it could affect the citrus taste. I have no "next day" sleepiness from these. This dosage is high, so I'd recommend starting at the 1 mg dose and go from there. Amazon offers a great price; I still shop at the co-op for fresh foods and spices, but I'll switch to Amazon for these tablets.

Source Naturals Melatonin Orange Flavored Chewables
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
This product is used for occcasional sleeplessness. The product is made by Source Naturals located in Santa Cruz, CA. It contains 5 mg of melatonin and 338 mcg vitamin B6 (from pyridoxal-5). I ordered this product after viewing a Dr. Oz episode about premenopausal and post menopausal symptoms of sleeplessness. Melatonin is a neurohormone produced by humans by the pineal gland (cone shaped organ of the brain that secretes the hormone melatonin into the bloodstream. It is one of the endocrine glands and is situated beneath the back part of the corpus callosium). It helps the body to ease into a restful sleep. Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant. I purchased Source Naturals' Bio Align product NightRest with melatonin multi nutrient and herb complex, but only tried it while I waited for my melatonin to arrive. When it arrived, I realized I had purchased a similiar product at a cheaper cost than the huge retail whole-food chain. This is an excellent product and it performs exactly as the manufacturers suggest. However, I find that their NightRest works much quicker. I take one tablet at around 7 p.m. and I'm out by 9:30-10 p.m. I get a peaceful nights sleep, and I sleep through the night. I wake rested and ready to start my day. Either product would be super. Order according to your needs.

BEST SLEEP AID EVER!
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
Most nights, I place 1-2 under my tongue, allowing them to dissolve, and fall asleep quickly. Even when I wake up in the middle of the night, I get right back to sleep easily. I usually combine this melatonin with Source Naturals L-Tryptophan too (1-2 at bedtime) with a glass of water, followed by the melatonin under my tongue. GREAT combination for those who have a hard time sleeping at night, or who have a temporary problem that is keeping them awake. Not necessary to use every night, only as needed. The L-Tryptophan can also be taken midday if you are stressed; however, NEVER use either of these products, or this combination of products, if you take prescription antidepressants or sleeping pills. I started using them 20 years ago instead of prescriptions because of the side-effects of drugs....OH, this sublingual melatonin has great flavor too (dissolve this melatonin under the tongue so it delivers directly to the bloodstream) .

Just have to be careful not to take more than one per night or else wake up feeling like have a hangover
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
Definitely works for me. Just have to be careful not to take more than one per night or else wake up feeling like have a hangover. Works great for me but not as well for my stepmother. She has severe insomnia and has been on sleeping medications for years. She tried taking this to go a more natural route but did not even affect her.

surprised!
I actually didn't realize I had ordered "time released" version. I thought these were just normal melatonin. But now that I've tried these, I love them so much better than the regular version! Helps me sleep better through the night. No taste, love this brand of Source Naturals.
