I agree, that is a great looking set!

Fierce Knight sets are the closest to that set. Regency Chess the Oxford Series even closer.

Oxford does look similar, however the Bishop looks a little bit different and the brown is only available for size 3.5 inch not 3.75 inch sad.png

Maybe the pieces in the show are Ebony style?

@QueenYilin That's why I said that it was close and not exact. The color for Black shouldn't have to be Sheesham nor does the Bishops have to be exact. I firmly believe that it was a set that used a Bishop from another set. So you may never find the exact match. I would suggest getting the Oxford Series and be content with that. If it's something that you are interested in buying. I know that the Bishop isn't exact nor Black is Sheesham in color. However the rest of the set is close enough for me to be content with.

Thanks! I actually saw chess.com also has an online store selling chess pieces. Here is another set I found very similar to the set in the show:

I think I might be going with this one. Thanks again for all your help happy.png

@Sound67 Might be a discontinued set of some kind. You are not going to find this exact set on any site. Regency Chess The Oxford Series is just about as close you might get from the current market. To be honest I prefer the Bishop from the Oxford Series over the one in The Queen's Gambit.

The consensus is that none of us was able to find an exact match to this set. We will wait for the Netflix show's production team to open sale these sets. Until now there are some sets that look similar to this with some minor differences:

Hope this helps!

I just found an identical "Latvian set" like the one used in the final episode (or so I am told wink.png ). Haven't seen the series only the stills from it.
