Wow everyone here has really beautiful chess sets. All I have is a small analysis set.. old & simple & cheap. I found it at the Goodwill secondhand store. There’s an endgame study presently on it:

1. Fischer Spassky from HOS on sky blue printed board.

MCH...That's a very nice looking set and board....Knowing you quite well,I'm not surprised.....You're a man of significant chess skill and apparent good tastes......A question---
The board in post #157....did you have it mounted on what looks like some kind of dark plexiglass platform? How did you get it to look that way? Clearly something special,imo.
My wife has some family members I wouldn't mind throwing to your cat!
From Aliexpress. The King is almost 4".
That is a cool chess set. The gloss finishes chess pieces on a matt finished board pair well.

Thanks @Powderdigit And @BoardMonkey, here's a better look at my office, or like you said, 'space for chess' and all the books . . .
Those are mostly strategy and game collections
The bookshelf on the left os all openings and the books to the right of my computer are Nimzowitsch (he's my all-time favorite), Jonathan Rowson - amazing author, and a few others I like to have handy
And the French Defense gets its own section, it's a real love hate thing w me . . .
Legend Products, Kings Indian.
Nice pieces, @Pawnerai, and I love the photos, @Krames. I feel I must also clarify that my thumbs up emoji is for the photos and most certainly NOT an indication of support for the French Defense section.

Seems like a nice set to use for otb bug/crazyhouse.

Mate - a ripper office - thanks for the view. I’ll say this much…. You’re fitter than I am…I ran a marathon 5 or so years back - man, that was tough. You ironmen are in a different league…. Well played sir! I’ve just started running again now … I could not run even 2 km’s now but I’ll be back to 5 km park runs soon enough. 👍
Mine are the Reykjavik chess pieces.
2022 Reykjavic photos. They are still the same, no damages etc.
Wow! Looks beautiful.
