@Brynmr Great set. Is that 4.4"? And where is the board from?
4.6 and the board is from JKCreativeWood on Etsy. MCH818 has one as well and it was on his recommendation (mostly) I bought mine. I needed a borderless because of limited space. I asked for a 2.5 but was told they don't make that size. But I love this one.
Take a look at my beautiful sets. The final image shows the beginning of my rematch vs Borgov. I play white and take an early lead on move 2.

Are you thinking of the E-file or I? (The E-file piece is a Chancellor from Trice's Chess, if you didn't know).

But in the end it wasn't really the pills, was it? She achieved that focus naturally, as it should be.

That one's based on the "chop up a Rook and Knight and glue them together" model. There's a version by Musketeer that looks like this:
My Bucephalus set. 1.92 king base on 2.25 which is snug but I don't mind. Here I'm following the Immortal game: Anderssen vs Kieseritzky 1851
