@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 😁

Here's my set that's on my table in rotation had TCE custom make the knights in padauk wood a set to match / with out having to buy a whole new set to go with my Sinquefield set / some years back .

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.

GORGEOUS pieces! What are they made of friend?

LeChevalier79

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.

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. 😍

Very elegant. An attractive set that seems to have been inspired by historical Soviet designs and yet, modern - with a sci-fi look!

Thanks for posting. 👍
