Thanks cgrau, I like those knights a lot. I will try to get some replacements of the missing pawns to complete the set. Perhaps I should send a message to Mr. Dewey to see if he could make some replacements of those pawns
By the way, have a look at these pictures:
I was following this set some time ago but I couldn't place my bid on time. I think they are very much alike to the "Averbakh" set.
Indeed it is. Many thanks for the pictures!
More than a set, i compiled a list of the best chess sets on the web, they can be found here http://best-chesssets.com
How about some sets for those of us over 12 years of age.

Hello
I love to play chess. I am having few chess sets in my collection showing one like most today
I think Frank's been hacked.
LOL. I saw the fish pic (now deleted) and thought I'd join the fun...
WOW! imagine an entire set made of 'PEEPS" ,
Chess would gain an entire new audience .
Winner gets to eat the opponent's pieces!
Just about to start a casual sit down, playing with the 50s Tal set on a 1.75" Drueke board.

I know. Did you see that set informaticacobach29 has on its way? It looks like an early version of the Tal. No to mention, goodknightmike has his 1941, and cgrau his 40s set. Oh, what to do, what to do.
And then this old-timer is being offered now but it's way beyond my reach:

It is sweet, indeed, goodknightmike, kicking back on a Sunday afternoon, enjoying a nice cold one, and playing on a chess set that is no longer made and from a country that no longer exists. Oh, the times we live in!
that looks like a nice sturdy board, #394
I like it
