@ Eyechess: Wow. Those chips really do look nearly identical. I wonder what caused it. Perhaps it was indeed a brittler batch of walnut pieces. On the other hand, I really like the way Gregor handled all of this, especially considering you purchased these pieces nearly 8 years ago. Do you have any idea what Gregor intends to do to "soften" the edges on your new set? Will he simply reduce the size of the rings, or make them thicker?

Stay away from House of Staunton. Poor quality control, bad business ethics, terrible.
I have had good experiences with HoS.
I think all sellers have issues occasionally. It is how frequently they have issues and how they handle them that matters.
O Eyechess, it was painful reading about your black Queens. I'm glad things worked out!
