I suspect you are right.  That unicorn point in the knights looks suspiciously similar to the CB and RCM versions. 

But the light squares on the board look like they could be mesquite.

It makes some sense what they mention.

Although there are certain mesquite identified as such for export, the truth is that it is a somewhat vague denomination in the country. The leaded economic chess is also made of mesquite (natural and tinted); and put a fairly clear wood, although much harder than oyamel.

Chechen, on the other hand, is quite specific.

The only thing that makes me believe that if they did it at the craft school, it is that (as I always complain) Dubrovnick chess is very expensive; even those of Chessbazaar. I doubt they gave me one for less than $ 50 just to tease me.

If you got that set for 50 bucks you got a great deal! 

Here is an article with some unusual chess sets based on famous architecture: https://archinect.com/features/article/150172033/a-conversation-with-the-architect-who-is-bringing-the-world-s-iconic-buildings-to-the-chessboard

This is a Czech set from Karel Mokry's chess shop.  The extra queens just arrived today from the Czech Republic.  The clock is a 1960's Prim Gambit.

I love it. The stripes, the "bigfoot" pawns, the belly horse, the clock. I miss those analog clocks.

I have a friend who has that set. I like it but the unweighted set is not really my style. Also the Knights look more like Jack Rabbits instead of Horses. Even my friend doesn't like the Knight that much in the Czech set.

Yes. I have a friend who has that set and he told me that he got his on a discontinued sale.  

"Equus". México. Local woods.

nice set, nice board.

My Chinese chess set looks authentic and beautiful but isn't actually very easy to play with. It's also very small. 

Watch Dogs chess in the park.

I liked the looks of the Watch Dogs set. I went ahead and got it made. I made a few design changes but kept the design mostly similar. I have posted this set on another thread. This is a one of a kind set that I commissioned The Chess Empire in India. To make for me.

Did you not like any of the standard Zagreb sets currently available from the usual sources?  

@forked_again I already have a Zagreb set and I actually like the Knights from the Leningrad Series more than the Zagreb. That is why I chose to go with the Leningrad style Knight instead of the Zagreb. I just wanted to recreate that Watch Dogs chess set. By going the custom route. It actually saved me more money and all the pieces look like they all come from one set. I didn't want it to look like a Frankenstein set by picking bits and pieces from other sets.

What is this board made of? It looks uneven. is it cloth?
