Post a picture of your best, most expensive chess set, that you own

Thanks, azbobcat! Yours sounds great too. I love the Collector series. You should post a pic! Let's see that custom board.

My only set - recently acquired but I love it!

HOS Sultan Series...that Knight!

OK here you go:

Here is the Custom Board.

And here is just the Board and Set

I probably should re-shoot these pictures at some point. The "Black" Pieces are really Rosewood. I shot this with a disposable camera. I really should shoot this outdoors in natural light. The playing surface was finished in Satin finish, while the Boarder was finished in Gloss. Due to my Parkinson's, I had rubber "feet" added to adsorb any shock from bumping while trying to set it down.  The thing I like about the Collector Series are those wide bases. A buddy tried to lay down the king only to have it self right itself.

Beautiful board and pieces, azbobcat! They just look exquisite! 

Oddly my favorite set for everyday use is another HOS set. Their very HEAVY PLASTIC 3.75" Marshall Set in Black and Natural which when put on a Rosewood and Tiger Maple veneer board with brass corners, and viewed from about 5-7 feet away *looks* like a very expensive WOOD set. When paired with the ubiquitous GREEN and WHITE vinyl roll-up board travels well and can take a REAL BEATING. Add a Chronos chess clock and fit in a large Premier Tournament Chess Set Bag and I have the Ultimate Road Warrior set. I bring out the wood set when I want to impress someone.
