Identify chess pieces (chavet lookalike knight)

Avatar of KleineKraai

I recently bought this chess set, with a lookalike chavet knight. I know that they're also used in the Max Euwe Centrum in Amsterdam on regular boards sometimes. Does anyone have an idea what brand this is or what year? I guess something out of the 90's.

@beachero, thank you that set comes very close! ;-)

in my opinion, nothing to do with Chavet, and even less with Guigou

@Walterbiensur, offcoarse it is no real Chavet, that I agree fully. Still looking for the exact manufacturer of these pieces. I love Chavet, but don't own a set. Only a couple of Lardy's ;-)
Thanks for your opinion!

I just took out my Guigou, it's true that we're getting very close. size 5 and 3.

@Waterbiensur, thanks for the effort of taking out your Guigou chess sets. Very nice sets too!
I think a big difference is the woodcarving at the back of the Knight.

Here below a picture of the Knight's back.

This one looks a lot like mine, and is a chess set used by GM Paul van der Sterren at the Max Euwe Centrum in Amsterdam. Only the Knights are a bit thinner.

Those pieces look really nice

@FrostSaber112, look nice and are fun for playing. They're also weighted, without being weighted I guess they would be not stable enough.
