I'm not on commission, honest . . .

A seller has just listed a great Drueke chess set on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330854971456

This is the largest chess set that Drueke sold, with kings at 4 1/4".  It looks to be in perfect shape.  Comes with a Drueke vinyl board . . . and the pricing looks right to me, given that these are no longer being made, and the size and quality.

Just FYI, in case anyone is interested or looking.

That's plenty expensive for sheesham pieces, made in India like thousands of others.

It is a shame they don't come with a Drueke wooden board . . .

Expensive, yes, but I'd say Drueke sets are exceptionally high quality.  Consistent shaping and finishing, smooth bottoms, good quality felt, good weighting.

Yes, I think that a wooden set should be played on a wooden chess board, and plastic sets on the vinyl boards.
