New RCM Soviet Grandmaster set

This just arrived today from India.  It took five days.  This is my third set from RCM (Royal Chess Mall).  I have a French Grandmaster and a Latvian set from them already that I have had for a couple of years now.  My board, as you can see, has black squares and my other two RCM sets have ebonized pieces.  The ebonized pieces kind of disappear on them so I have been wanting a set in something rosewood like.  These are golden rosewood.  I cannot find a flaw and these look just like the RCM website pictures.  Please excuse my poor photography.

Your new pieces look great! Congrats. The answer here is not just another set but also another board...

A Rechapados Ferrer board will be my next chess purchase. Probably their Queens Gambit board.

Thanks for the reply

I like the clean design of the chess pieces. Looks great for a playing chess set.

The knights are too chunky compared to the original set. The bishops also are twist on the staunton style. Of course reproducing a chess set from google images is a very difficult task and the copy never works out perfect.

Very nice set and both boards look just fine to these eyes. No reason to apologize for the photo shoot. It gets the point across quite accurately.

Enjoy your treasures.
