Chess Bazaar Piatigorsky Set
There is a huge thread on it, if you do a search.
Thanks, I reviewed that thread. I was just wondering if anyone had a chance to compare both sets side by side? It's probably a moot point since the OS set was a limited edition, which I believe has sold out, as it's no longer listed on their website.
So, for now, CB is the only source around.
I bought a set from CB but unfortunately I don't have have the OS version to compare against.
I picture's worth a thousand words.

I was hoping goodknightmike would purchase a set, the reproduction was originally his idea and he's a big fan of CB.
It's hard to fault a reproduction set when it's done faithfully and with care, but if I designed the set the pawns would be larger, but small pawns were the standard back then. If they're too small they start hiding behind the larger pieces.

It's too bad, really.
Has anyone bought the Piatigorsky (Steiner) repro set from CB? I was wondering how it compares to the Official Staunton version.
