Post Your Chess Sets

Brownish Gerbil, I got these chessmen only a month ago and I'm very pleased. The design is quite regularly offered second hand in Germany. I once had seen the pieces in this cardboard box below and I am very happy to have found it now in this pack.. You may notice that the bishop's signifier is elongated, while the king's has more of a curve, the pawns have a slimmer pedestal in comparison to your version. In this one, the king is 8 cm tall. 

Thank,s , Here in Europe to find a 60mm sq board of the vintage or antique kind is very rare , you can find say Jaques style board up to 55mm or new ones like RF or solid wooden boards prone to the risk of warping also, being no cheap buy ! This board is from a chess club now defunct was not in a good state , seller sold it to me for 20 euros cash , after some light sanding with sandpaper + some coats of cooked linseed oil , Bingo . A 50's chess board fit for a socialist worker chess set & many others . will post some photo of the Sinquefield knights soon .

@ungewichtet Indeed some subtle differences, your set seems a bit more refined. If I'm not mistaken, there should be similar sets in other wood types as well, I'll keep my eyes peeled 😁

Wow...love the set! It looks to be a very authentic antiqued looking finish that most companies can't quite seem to master! But your set is just that..the pieces actually look very aged and used! Great buy lighthouse. From "The Chess Empire" right? Haven't bought anything from them yet but, that might have to change real soon.

Here's the same set with the Sinquefield knights , Enjoy !

@lighthouse Beauty of a set, where did you procure that set from, if I may ask?

The set,s from TCE , Picked it up some years back before the price hike , The custom knights worked out to be around $130 , with tax , lets say two set for the one & a bit .

Emelyanov amber set:

GORGEOUS pieces! What are they made of friend?

The pieces are amber composite. (Pure carved amber pieces of this size would be off-the-charts expensive.) The board is beech wood inlaid with amber.

Love the set! Plus the board is just magnificent LeChevalier79.

I made a chess board in wood shop class in 9th grade! It was looking GREAT, but when I sanded it, I made little “hills & valleys,” 😂so I can definitely appreciate the craftsmanship!

The Imagery of Chess exhibition must have been amazing - those were people who thought big thoughts and gave something to the world.

Wow! This is beautiful. 😍
