Yes, that's very nice, Lou.
I like the Bishop tops. Different and I like the way they look.
Thanks, guys. For analysis, I find anything larger than a 1-3/4" board becomes a bit calisthenic - leaning, reaching, stretching to reach the far side of the board, which is no problem if you have arms like an orangutan.
I thought I'd chime in my set are pieces I have had since high school, (40+ years) Drueke no. 35, and vinyl board. The game table I found at a local shop for $10 two years ago.

While I have the set out, I think I'll post a few pics. It's my Soviet set, 95mm Kings, on a Drueke 1.75" board.
Another shot of the set:

Do I read Russian? No, of course not. But I do read chess.
Beautiful setup! Perfect size for analysis. Thanks for posting.

Really Beautiful Set,
Makes me imagine it would be used in a classic movie.
Would expect Humphrey Bogart to be peering at me from the other side of the board.
Just Great!

Thanks, Many6Packs. It does have that old flair. Wish I had a nice antique board to go with it.

Sorry, I can't read that. And where I'm from, we're vowel happy. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole pilikia! He aʻo au i ka ʻōlelo a he mahalo hoʻi i nā ʻōlelo like ʻole o ka honua nei!
Side Note to the book " Karpov's Collected Games"
A blooper, usually if the diagram does not agree with my analysis board, the mistake is mine. in this diagram notice both white Bishops are on black squares!
LOL. Must be the missing NQB3.
Probably not a case of Pawn promotion to Bishop either.
LOL. According to the score, the knight moved to c3 on move 4 and hadn't moved or been captured by move 11.
