Those are DGT electronic chess boards. They can be plugged into a computer to play or just record games. You can see the cable best in your last picture. The kings are probably 3.75" tall.

thanks Gomer_Pyle . i cant afford that. what wooden chess sets u you guys have and really enjoy??
You can get the same set, minus the special stuff that they have to work with the autosensory board, for a very reaonable price. It's not a deluxe set by any means. Rather practical in fact.
really? what is the name of the set? thanks
