Need Help Identifying Pieces/Board Used by Sagar Shah

Sort:
Alramech

I haven't been able to identify the board or pieces used by Sagar Shah on his ChessBase India videos.  Needless to say, I think the set looks fabulous and was hoping to find them online to see if I wanted to invest.

Any help is appreciated!

That looks like the board.  Although, unfortunately, it appears to be out of stock.

The pieces are a Zagreb set but I do not know the source on this exact set.

Hi, board is most likely veneer board from Europe - I assume 60mm rechapados ferrer. Not sure about wood, border is Macassar ebony, not sure about inside. My guess is he ordered both from chessbazaar. I own the same pieces from chessbazaar, and I guess cb sells those Spanish veneer boards too.

Dark pieces are made from dark Indian rosewood, looks almost like ebony.

Welcome, not sure if Sagar has ebonized or ebony version. With more light and different angle my set looks dark brown. My set is about 4 years old and dark wood gets lighter over time.
