Oldset Kasparov / Chavet Refinement
Sort:
Found this picture in Oldset’s reviews. Says it’s a refinement of a Kasparov set from the 90s. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be similar to a Chavet but it looks pretty great. Seems like it was a custom request. Pasting here for any comments!
I like it, I wish there were more pics

Nothing to do with Chavet ;-)
Thanks, sorry about the thread title

1992 USCF Kasparov Signature Chess Set (Guigu family)& Recreation by Oldest with modifications and unweighted for travel.
I've been searching for the original 3.75" Kasparov Signature set for years now. The smooth, slightly flared out, high walled tops on the KS Rooks are quite distinctive. The KS Bishop on the other hand.... oh boy. The Oldset Soviet style Bishop is a HUGE HUGE improvement.
@SofiaB33 Are these your sets? If you can spare a moment, can you take a photo of the set lined up in a starting position? (Doesn't need to be on a chess board) Straight on at a tabletop angle. Not 3/4 angled from above. I've love to see how the new style Bishops blend in with the Oldset repro pieces.
Oldset impresses me time and time again. Thanks for sharing!

Pawnerai-
Yes Oldest (Andrei?/Andrey) has some really good carvers--Ill create a separate thread to help him out, I have a nicely done Baku, a Dublin, and a Alekhine set that are outstanding, and for travelers like myself he makes them Unweighted. Weighted of course for most others.
