Magnus Carlsen's Childhood Chess Set?
Sort:
Here's the trailer to the film. If it is the first set shown it's an early DGT set (note the DGT board it's on). Hope this helps

Ok, that looks to me like the DGT set they call "timeless", which has the more "rounded" style knights. The board in that video doesn't have algebraic coordinates, so that would probably be their "walnut" version. Here's where you can get them : https://www.dgtshop.nl/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=134&search=timeless

I looked at the trailer and the pieces in the trailer are actually not the ones I am interested in.
I tried taking screenshots on my phone while watching the documentary on Netflix but the app and phone have a stupid feature to prevent screenshots so they come out as blank black color.
When I get home I'll launch Netflix on TV and take the screenshots the caveman way and post it asap.

That's a chess set from Finland I think. I saw it online for sale before.. I'll have to dig around.

Actually that one is slightly different. This one seems to be more like it. http://www.sjakkbutikken.no/produkter/trebrikker-svenska-tavlingsmodellen/

Nice. Of course the photos show 2 different sets (the knights are different in the first 2 photos compared to the last 2).

Yeah, maybe Magnus was training for a "come from behind" victory...

Hi fellas, I was watching the Magnus Carlsen documentary on Netflix; it shows Magnus growing up and becoming a chess master through interviews with his family and their home movies. In it it shows him playing with chess pieces which I've never seen before. They are Staunton but they look kind of different from most sets people have posted here. If any of you have Netflix you can take a look. I am sure clips can be seen on YouTube as well. If anyone can identify it, I'd appreciate it.
