Do my plastic hot sauce bottles count? I use them as king and queen replacements.

That is a very nice set Brioma. Is it yours? Any details about it?

Yes that set is mine, recently purchased from The Chess Store. It is their Zukert plastic chess set in Burgundy and Camel. The king is 4.25" tall and heavily weighted. The board has 2.375" squares.

Very nice indeed! I looked in The Chess Store, seems like this colour combination is no longer in stock? If so, I am not surprised, because it is the most nice combination 😊 Is quality of pieces good?

Very good look and feel. It feels to be very durable too. I will probably never use my old tournament set again!

About 5 years ago The Chess Store had a multiple color edition of this Zukertort (Zukert) model for $89.95, if you wanted to make 3 full sets you'd have to buy an additional half set to make this set complete. Not a bad deal if you really liked this style of Staunton plastic chess set and wanted different color variations, but the bundled set is no longer available from the chess store. Only a few Zukert color combinations are available present day from the chess store website. I believe the burgundy color is not available anymore from the Chess store but perhaps on Ebay or a Craigslist entry for sale.
