I'm not about to go out and spend my children's inheritance on chess pieces, but I do like this set. The contrast of slender waist to wide and stable base makes for a certain appeal; "please play with me". I would love to play with them, see if they feel as good as they look. And yes, history does lend them a certain je ne sais quoi.

BTW, are those Ns all in one piece? They do remind me of the Steiner knights (Pasadena set)

two piece Knights verylate, its a very nice playing set

I agree with Mike. It's a great playing set. VL, if what you'd spend on this set amounts to your kids' entire inheritance, you might as well spend the hundred bucks or so on this set.Wink
