Beautiful sets. I am sure these will sell fast.

As a reviewer I'd say that everything arrived well-padded and well-packed (and in really surprisingly-speedy time). As a player and collector, I'm overjoyed. Five stars and so on! Seriously, very pleased.

Bumping as these are quality handmade pieces that could be picked up from a trusted seller on this forum.

This is an absolute steal - and @VBerriz is a great person to buy from. If anyone is on the fence, you should pull the trigger!

@VBerriz, let me know if you are open to selling the box separately; I'm sure I'll want somewhere nice to store the pieces that I just ordered from Oldset! (If I were you I'd probably prefer to sell them together, so totally get it if not).

Hello forum members. I just picked up a very disturbing Facebook post with unfortunate and terrible news. Andrey (Oldset) has died fighting for Ukrainian forces. I am lucky to have two of Andrey’s very impressive sets and also proudly own some pieces in an inexpensive set that he made whole by souring several missing pieces right at the beginning of the conflict in his country. What a waste.

May he rest in peace. Tragic news indeed.

Awful news and it puts chess collecting into stark perspective! So sad.

He was a talented carver, and valiant patriot, to say the least. It's tragic to hear of his passing, and my heart goes out to Ukraine, his loved ones, friends, this community, and anyone he made a positive impact on. Regretfully, I never jumped at the opportunity to purchase one of his creations, but I've admired his work for some time now. Rest in peace, @Oldset.
