I have these pieces goes to 12 years originally made in Romania, now almost Hungarian national set .I was the first to show this set this Forum .... and yet touched these pieces of chess. Wearies me. So the bases are anything similar to ...
A bit of humor is needed!
and look at The Khight...Is blind. I purpose this to the Company maker of set, but they denied my sugestion.
Very funny. They don't need any beedy little eyes because they have Xray vision, and the Clark Kent glasses prove it.

You can try buying direct from Biro Sandor in Romania, but he only accepts a wire transfer for payment and that could be risky if there is a problem. Here's a link to his site: http://www.caissa.ro/ChessSet/

LOL. I was thinking more of a Romanian Ray Charles...
I keep coming back to this thread to gaze upon the knights. so much nicer than the Spanish or lardy! I wish one of the usual companies would make a reproduction.

I do like them all. I have acquired a number of Lardys just because I like the knights so much.
OMG!!! I just opened this thread on my computer, as opposed to my phone! They are even more beautiful!!! I want a set!!! They are perfect works of art!!
Where can I get one and how much? I saw there was a link in this thread but I am cautious about purchasing from individuals overseas. How would that work?
beautiful set! I love those knights! At first glance they look like Spanish knights but the carving is more stylized, giving them an aggressive look, and more consistency between the pieces. The slightly more detailed Spanish knights miss the mark to me.
I noted the similarity on another thread. As Arlindo pointed out, the contemporary Spanish knight is something of a degraded version of the original. I still like them. The original is on the right. Reminds me of the Lardy knight.
I think the thing that puts me off is the blocked off mane, as if the knights have crew cuts. Also, implied eyes of the romainian knights look better to me than the actual eyes. The romaininan ones look like transformer knights!
ok, I emailed that guy in that link in one of the above posts but didn't get an answer. I guess I'll have to fill out one of those order/quote forms. I really really really love this style set! And I want one!!!! I am going to bump this thread until I have one! The sooner someone gives me some Intel on how I can aquire one the sooner I'll shut up!
