That's a lot of boards @Govedo. Perhaps sometime you can share pictures and reviews with them matched with different sets.

Yes, those are Rechapados Ferrer boards. I ordered from them 7-8 RF boards end they are always perfect.
Thank you for your reply.
What square sizes did you buy ? And what pieces goes with it ?
I am planning to buy 2 or 3 chess sets, and I need some inspiration and advice.
Maybe you can share some pictures?
Thanks.

Nice set setups. The rosewood board looks like a non-electronic DGT board.

This is RF MAHOGANY "DELUXE" DIAGONAL board, square size 55mm. The advantage of these reddish chessboards is that you can combine them with pieces made from different wood for better contrast. Rosewood, sheesham , ebony...etc. When you have the classic black and white chess board, you are always limited to black and white pieces ( maybe some blue or red lacquered wood would work also). There is no color contrast between the board and pieces, so it`s more demanding for our eyes and brain to detect the moves.
These pieces are A.P.F Rolland Terry Berlin design. Kings height is 93mm, kings base 35mm. They are made from palisander and boxwood. Very nice and elegant pieces. Nicely weighted.
Thank you so much. These are really beautiful boards and pieces. It must be a pleasure to play OTB with these.
Your comment about the color combination between chessboard and pieces makes a lot of sense.
I like also very much the APF Rolland Terry Berlin design pieces.
You mentioned two indian manufacturers: Vijaya and Chopra. I have looked them up on the net, but it seems they don't sell online directly to final customer.
Can you recommend an online shop ?
Thanks

This is RF SYCAMORE "STANDARD" 55mm square size chess board with some nice rosewood american staunton pieces. They have had 57mm square size version of this board, but someone grabbed it before me. My daughter calls it "Chocolate chess set"
It would be nice to have chocolat chess pieces, the white pieces are made of Swiss chocolate and the black pieces made of Belgium chocolate. Each time one takes a piece you can eat it 
I was checking your online shop advises. I wonder why the Slovenian shop is pretty much cheaper compared to others I have seen.

Could you send me the link to the RF MONTGOY PALISANDER "DELUXE" board (55mm) you shared above please Govedo? I could not find the same board with notation on the niggemann website. It looks very similar to a non electronic dgt board as someone else stated

Thank you very much @ddragos The one in the link doesn’t have notations but I guess I can ask them to see if they can do it

Also I understand you cannot just buy a single board from RPF they don’t sell to customers directly, they sell in cases of 7 or 8 to stores.
RF MONTGOY PALISANDER "DELUXE" board, square size 55mm is the one I want but with coordinates (screenshot was shared above by Govedo, that is the exact one that I would like to buy) so if anyone knows where I can order it from that would be great.

Hello,
Does anyone know if the boards labeled RPF in this shop
https://www.niggemann.com/en/rpf.html
are Rechapados Ferrer boards ?
Thank you
