A couple of views of the greatest chess set there ever was. Each piece a sculpture. The black pawns have backpacks. Senators with togas. Authentic costumes and weapons. All are authentic to its time.
Very nice, but i feel like sets like these should include extra queens

You can use the same color queen of the opposite side.
White Josephine and black Livia.
what if the opponent also has a queen

I dont know what staunton is.
But something beautifull that I can display as decoration and play with.
It can be marble or wood.
No silicon,
No thèmes,
Needs to be somewhat big and good quality
Shame you don't get the red English GPO telephone box throw in with the sale of a repro set , Now that would be something ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_telephone_box

As far as luxury is concerned, I keep looking at the Grazing Knight set.
It's not terribly expensive, but I think it is very decorative and probably even playable.

If you are looking for something a bit blingy and custom this guy does sell boards - https://youtu.be/HbVZmBjqszQ
Think they run at about half your budget and you could pick up a nice set of pieces to use on it from one of the Indian sites like chessbazaar or royalchesssmall with the remaining money. I personally am a fan of the sparticus set, but it's all personal preference - https://royalchessmall.com/en-au/products/4-6-spartacus-luxury-staunton-chess-pieces-only-set-bud-rosewood-triple-weight?_pos=1&_sid=4146094db&_ss=r
Hello,
Very nice.
Is it better to have an electronic chess set or a chess set like this one?
Thanks
Dear OP, dear long quach, please don't swear.
Dear OP, next time ask politely you would prefer your thread not flooded with info on the utter luxuriousness off one set. Don't call it spamming.
Dear Long Quach, next time just open your own thread and link to it instead of high jacking a thread for your lectures.
Blocking someone from commenting, however.. I did not know it was possible.
I love Stauntonesque designs !
