I am looking to get a new chess set. I have a couple from house of staunton and one from chessbazzar, I was looking at the Reykjavik II set Can anyone vouch for this one? or recommend another?

I am not sure if you are only interested in the Reykjavik II or if you would be up for similar variations. If it is the latter, then I can vouch for the HoS Fischer-Spassky Commemorative in ebony. I own it and it is pretty nice. I am not sure it is worth the asking price. HoS has other versions that are good as well. There is the New and Improved Fischer-Spassky for $399 which is also nice. I almost bought this one but they were out of stock. https://www.houseofstaunton.com/the-camaratta-collection-the-improved-fischer-spassky-series-luxury-chess-pieces-3-75-inch-king.html. HoS also makes a $149 version of the Fischer-Spassky Commemorative as well. I bought this one before but there were pieces with lots of issues. HoS said they don't have replacement pieces so they let me return it. https://www.houseofstaunton.com/the-fischer-spassky-series-commemorative-chess-pieces-3-75-king.html That's how I ended up with the ebony version instead. Anyways good luck.

Before expecting others to chime in, how about thanking the guy who already took the time to type a detailed response for you instead of ignoring him? Sheesh...

Tough to recommend without knowing what you're gonna use it for (leisure, blitz, travel, analyzing etc), design style (practicality vs display type), weight preferences etc otherwise this is going to be a thread of one's favorite set. I'll start...dubrovnic is my preference happy.png
