Some excellent styles, but I’d favor the quality over quantity approach. For the Latvian, get it from Oldset, the Reykjavik from House of Staunton, etc.
3 world class sets are better than 9 less well made ones. Also, dump the bags - nothing but damage from storing chess pieces like that.
H.O.S. Ceska Kublovka pieces and a JLP chess board. I don't need anymore sets or boards but, I want to finish off my wish list.
Btw,Krames and felonet definitely have the right idea.
You'll be able to make those yourself Powderdigit,based on your enthusiasm and attempt to learn wood turning(if I read your past post correctly)....I hope you do!...Maybe you can give me a nice sizeable discount.
This indeed the case! Finding local finds do mitigate my fancy at online retaliers! When it's looking unusual and cheap then it's buy buy buy!
- Chavet B210
- early Czech Klubovka
- Knubbel
- Dubrovnik 1950 OG (not realistic)
- early Jaques (also not realistic)
I have one of Oldset's Ceska Kublovka and it is wonderful to look at and to play. I bought it just before the invasion started and he was able to post it out. Search on my posts for my review of the set.
Wishlists generally only work on the online giant named after that South American river. That being said, here is mine.
1. A 3D printed set of Conner O'Kane's Kyiv.
2. A Pacific Game Co. Cavalier #1491.
3. Kohpablanca's Custom Australis BCE by Oldset.
4. Piatigorsky set by Staunton Castle
5. Ukranian style set, probably made by me.
6. 2.25 inch board in Tropical Walnut and Maple made by me.
7. Maybe a Chavet.
Not too difficult to meet the eccentric desires for a sarcastic curmudgeon.
I have a Piatigorsky on order from Staunton Castle - I can't wait. Mandeep even agreed to make it in Ebony! I already have a stained SC Dubrovnik so I'm happy to have some variety in wood. Idc if it's historically accurate or not, I think it will look beautiful. Nice list @F1Lightning!

My Dubrovnik is the V3.0 from Chess Bazaar as I preferred his Knight to the SC knight. I did experience cracks in one white Knight and white Queen but Chess Bazaar replaced them without cost even in the midst of the worst of the pandemic experienced by our Indian friends. You should post a review of your Piatigorsky after it arrives.
I will try - and I enjoyed reading your review of Oldset's CK repro. Really nice looking set!
