Chess set in Fisher vs Spassky 1992 rematch
Sort:
I wanted to know what the fuss was about so I bought one a year ago and now I own four Dubrovniks.
The two plastic versions and two wood ones from chessbazaar - both 3.60" K in crimson (New version 2.0) and sheeshamwood (Version I).
When I heard Bobby Fischer in that video say "The one I played with against Spassky, It was an original Dubrovnik set (1950) and it's marvelous. I think it's the best set I've ever played with." , Those words got stuck in my head so I had to buy one.
The chess set that Fisher and Spassky used during 1992 rematch belonged to my father Bozidar Kazic, the late vicepresident of world chess federation (FIDE). It is the original Dubrovnik Chess Olympiad set that belonged to my father since 1950. Fisher requested to play with this set any time when it was possible, so my father lended the set two times to tournament organizers: in 1970 when Fisher participated in USSR vs rest of the world match in Belgrade, as well as 1992 Fisher Spassky rematch. After 1992 rematch Fisher and Spassky signed the chessboard and returned it to my father. According to my father's will his grandson (and also my son) Aleksandar Kazic inherited this chess set and it is on sale now.

"I'm sure you were cognizant that this is my photograph!"
Pardon me? You are actually claiming to know what I was thinking? Even when I just stated the precise opposite?
