Thanks guys wink.png Just show the case the rest of my chess clocks !

Beauties! So your next purchase is a chess board? wink.png

Gorgeous knights, I see slight difference with mine. Yours have slightly wider forehead, my guess that's for marking suitable for HoS me think.

Chessbazar has just sent me an email. They apologised for any inconvience  caused by their delay in addressing my problem. They asked me for information re my  replacements. As others have written, sometimes it  takes time and patience   before you can get your problem (s)  resolved. Thank you, Mr. gupta

I’ve noticed that calling them out publicly in this forum appears more effective than anything else.

Don't I know it! After 12 sets,2 boards and a case,I got real good at that tactic.

Didn't want to, but was forced into it with good success......This was quite a while ago,but sadly it seems necessary these days too.

Sooo glad I've put together my collection already. A mix of various vendors...."All" offering me a more satisfying buying experience.

Beautiful set.  Nice photos.

Kudos to the carver - especially for the Knight!

He's a Master Carver.  In fact, I would say he's a Grandmaster Carver!

Thanks for yet another impressive review Michael, as always the high standard of photography and information are a huge help for us all. I do have the Sinquefield set on my wishlist and this version is just gorgeous, love the padauk and I think I would prefer this version over HoS. Now I just have to wait for another 40% sale haha.

 

I just bought it on eBay. It 30% off which comes out to $268.

Nice review, Michael. What's the square size of the chess board in the last picture please?

@TheOneCalledMichael

That set is beautiful. Just beautiful! Many thanks for posting photos and your review. It seemed like the price was quite reasonable as well. Congratulations!

I have no need for any more chess sets. The few I have serve my needs just fine. I’m on the wait list for another NOJ and I told myself whenever I eventually have it that’s it. I’m good. My small collection is then complete.

However, every time one of you fellows posts something like this I seriously get “the fever.” I need to stop looking! happy.png

Once again, great chess set. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.
