Andrei makes great boards at very reasonable prices. Only downside to customers from USA is that shipping from Russia to the US is expensive. 

Fortunately for me I don't have that problem so I'm thinking of ordering another board from him soon.

Looks like the Official Staunton 1849 antiqued boxwood and ebony reproduction set.

Hello MySet, yes, I took these photographs of a friend of mine. We were doing some photographs for a music video a musician is creating, and I thought it would be a good subject for some chess images as well!
