So, who has one of these sets that they wish to sell me? happy.png

Or a link for below retail would be helpful, I can't seem to find one at a reasonable price.

Yes the FIDE chess set looks pretty slick to me.

Even after three years is too high a price. The popularity of chess tournaments and spoke to the bottom retarded. Disputed that remains is the official inventory for a long time.

The set is beautiful, very playable and a bit overpriced. The new design is thoughtful and top notch. The knight is a small masterpiece, cut from a single block of boxwood (knights heads are usually glued to the bottom part). A horse with a nasty stare, but no eyes! How did they do that???

I love my FIDE set too.  The Knights are awesome.  You can also order extra queens if desired.

Nope. I bought mine from a chess retailer. I think it was in N.Y. but I'll have to check.

What size board are y'all using with these pieces? The official FIDE board is 2" but these pieces look a wee bit cramped on that board (at least in all the promo pics I've seen...)
