Information about a chess set
Sort:
Hello everyone, I was seeing some chess sets on ebay and one of them particularly caught my attention. It is sold by the chessgamesshop store and vaguely resembles the berliner set (okay, maybe just the horse looks alike) but I found it very beautiful with its rather sober towers, queens and kings and I wonder if it's a replica of some standard model . If anyone can help me I would be very grateful. Thank you very much in advance.
the set link (they call it "Geneva"):

I would say that stylistically it is a hybrid between the Berliner and Bundesform.

Ikea furniture? Why?

I agree with you. Thank you for the information about the board. I ended up buying the wegiel Staunton No. 06 since they do not sell only the pieces of this set.
It looks good. Proper differentiation between the pieces in a "modern", pared-down style.
Be aware that the board is glossy, which is not ideal.

Well here it is: this set is essentially the same except for the knight which is taken from Berliner - https://www.schachversand.de/material/figuren/figuren-bundesform.html
