Thanks UpcountryRain, I'm glad you enjoy it as much as I do. When can we expect some pics of your Latvian set?
Yikes, those are some big-ass pawns (I like big pawns). Looks like they've been raised on Wheaties and vodka?!

Good points Lou! I like big-ass Pawns too, that's one reason I like collecting Soviet sets, as many of these sets feature big wide-based Pawns.
WOW! Those are the closest I have seen to the illusive "Tal Knights" ! At least I can say I found the very same clock and it is en route lol.

Sure thing Mike. It is coming from Ukraine so it will be a while lol.
With interest rising in Soviet Chess sets I think those who missed my previous post would enjoy some pics of this vintage set. Kings measure 4 1/8" in height with Pawns at 2 1/4". The pieces are not weighted. Original storage box/board shows lots of surface wear. Production date stamped inside the folding board. Kings and Queens show the typical Soviet style finials.
