Folding Board Chess set

Sort:
BattleDuck

3.75 inch king, GM Blitz ebony, Chessbazaar

2 1/8 inch squares board, shesham (golden rosewood), House of Chess

As you can see from the pictures the chess piece slots are a perfect match even though the board is from a different source. They did ask for piece pictures and measurements to make the slots, but I believe they already had the forms, my guess is all these workshops are in the same city and people know each other. They also do have other woods for the board (like rosewood and others) as well as the standard us square sizes of 2.25" but I very much prefer the 2 1/8 for this set.

Nice. That would be very handy for tournament play. Does the leather (?) pouch come with the board?

Yes, though it is not real leather. But it does come with it.

What is the board size ? 

Also can you give a link where can you buy it from and do they deliver to Russia?

That board is made by House of Chess in India, http://www.houseofchess.com/wooden-chess-boards-folding.html.

It's available in 18", 20" and 21". I was pondering of buying one of them but was wondering if sets *not* made by House of Chess would fit into the moulds. I'm glad to hear that this is indeed the case!

 

They asked for pictures and measurements of the set i was going to use with the board so they would make the slots, but once they got the pictures the board was sent pretty much immediately and the slots fit perfectly (not close, perfectly) my guess is they got forms for many of the sets made in india even if its other makers.
