Its 40 cm (about 16 in) board was carved from a single piece of beech, and its chess field is marked out with letters and numbers cast in bronze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmenians know the mountain as Masis. The braid, a pattern of interlaced strands, adds a second, purely ornamental layer to the design. Backgammon, believed to be one of the world’s oldest games, is a logical contest that calls for a supple mind, precise reckoning and quick judgement, while chess, its partner on this board, is decided by the players alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 40 x 40 x 3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Beech wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Braid pattern and Mount Ararat outline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Varnished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Cast bronze hinges and locks; cast bronze letters and numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3 kg (4 kg packed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Hrachya Ohanyan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 31131\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 chess pieces and 32 backgammon checkers in beech and walnut wood, each with a velvet-lined base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDice made from billiard balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBranded carry case with wooden handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery set is completely handcrafted and comes with a 25-year guarantee certificate.
