I’ll start a new thread tomorrow for our chess playing places in the house. Don’t want to take this one too far off topic. Someone else pls post your everyday set to get us back on track :):):)

These are the best chess sets I have with Indian pieces. The boards are JLB and We Games. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you want to look at it, I have a hoarding situation going on with chess sets with about ten different sets. So I can't really have an everyday chess set because then the others wouldn't get used. I'm thinking about using dice to determine the chess set of the day. If I become homeless, I'm taking a vinyl mat with HOS Marshall series pieces. I will find a place to put it in my shopping cart. I love the fat rooks. They look like the major pieces that they are.

Well done @BoardMonkey! Beautiful set ups!

Well if you're hoarding chess sets,so am I as I look at a just delivered S.C. Ceska Klubovka set,still in the packaging.I'm letting it acclimate to room temperature for a day to play it safe before opening it,since the DHL guy left it outside my door...Set number 20 in my collection....Probably the last-ish.tongue

Here is a set that I have been leaving close by to use on a daily basis.  It is a cheap solid plastic unweighted  club set in tan and black on a ACE ultimate chess board.

Powderdigit

Nice set functional setup @Bombur19 and looks good on the ultimate board too. It’s been a while - probably nearly a year since I’ve had the Squadron set out —— it’s back on rotation. I’ve always liked the mock helmets on most of the pieces.

Thanks all,
It is CB’s Squadron Series - albeit I have not looked if it is still on their website. Here’s my original thread …. And looking at that thread - yes, I now have more than 6 sets - that was earlier in my addiction! 😊

Today I rotated to my Official World Chess Pieces on the DGT Walnut Chess Board (Non-Electronic). More recently, I'd been enjoying my Latvian set produced by RetroMaximum in Ukraine, with a vintage Jaques-style board I purchased from Argentina. Once I set up the latter again, I'll snap and post a couple of photos. These were purchased separately, but the board's age, wear, and patina complements the pieces quite nicely.

Powderdigit
Beautiful - I really like the board level aspect of the photo - I know those pieces divide opinion but I’m in the camp that covets them… alas, more expensive than the pieces I generally purchase but that doesn’t stop me looking on with envy, thanks for posting. 👍

My everyday chess set is my electronic

wooden chess computer. Pieces are Rosewood and Boxwood, the board is Acacia and Boxwood, on top of a birchwooden frame.

I like how the box snuggly sits the chess pieces. Beautiful and functional
