My set has teak wood box.

Yes, I understand. What kind of (sort of) tree for the chessboard?

Nice set:) I bought a nice carved wood set from India, whoever did it was a very good carver:)

Enjoy the game! A plaque from what a wood?

  Yes, the pieces as well as the wooden box is also heavy.

Very cool set!  Are they as heavy as they look?

You're welcome, btw, I'm no expert, just observant.  : )

You are absolutely right, tbro54. Queen should be in front of other Queen. That's the difference between an amateur and an expert ... :) Thanks. 

Yes, the bronze colored queen should be on the dark square.

I am treating Silver pieces as white. Still am I wrong?

I believe your black queen is on the wrong square. But you do have a cool chess set.
