Great review. That set looks nice on that board. Nice balance of both colour and contrast. Dubrovnik pieces are one of my favorite - plays extremely well. Their wide bases make them super stable it’s like they don’t need much weight. But HOS Dubrovnik reproduction is not the best looking design for that price point. HOS Dubrovnik is homage rather than reproduction. Don't get me wrong but chessbazaar's Dubrovnik is far more accurate from HOS Dubrovnik and has better overall quality of fit and finish. If money is no object, you would still get the original Dubrovnik pieces. If not then you'll consider some of the NOJ offerings too. In my opinion CB and NOJ Dubrovnik reproductions are the best reproduction money can buy.
