Which company makes the best chess sets?

I guess each of us would be paranoid too, if everyone was out to get us…

Get a life, and a sense of humor.

A Wittgenstein quote to go along with your digger clip, DesperateKingWalk. 'If I have exhausted the justifications, I have reached bedrock and my spade is turned. Then I am inclined to say: 'This is simply what I do.'' Philosophical Investigations (1936-48)

Well, sorry to disappoint you but I am not squirming in the least bit. Good luck with all you try.

Somebody's looking to get muted again.

You know, I actually like this desperate one. He is so wrong about so much that he is kind of lovable. [deleted by mod: comment might have been interpreted as aggressive]

Oftentimes, the more we speak of others...the more we reveal about ourselves.

Jipiq, there are truly ugly bits of conversation that can be found on this thread, still, I have to protest 'thumbs down'. You are jumping to a generalization. The average chess player is amiable, active and receptive. Well, at least in my world.

Please work on your reading comprehension. I said I am half Italian, not mafia at all. In fact my family comes from the Northernmost part of Italy where there is no mafia.

When I went there with my wife and daughter, my mother’s first cousin said there was no mafia whatsoever up there.

Oh desperate one, you claim that those on here that disagree with you are all playing from the same playbook and being redundant in what we say. You are actually the one playing the same old tired song and argument.

As was so adroitly stated a bit earlier, we are a bunch of amicable people. I look forward to you actually agreeing with me sometime.

After playing with and picturing my latest Chess set, I realized the best Chess sets produced are the ones created by and made for Frank Camaratta. The sets he designed or redesigned are exceptionally impressive.

If someone wants the best, simply look for the ones Frank has created.

Understand that individual tastes will vary. Someone might not care much for a specific piece design. That does not preclude it from being the best.

@ungewichtet Hey I noticed your reaction to my post, but maybe you didn't understand what I was saying. Look at my update and let me know if you understand.

My emoji expressed my surprise at the second username. I don't know its use, does it put into question the validity of the account in itself? What he wrote sounded normal, so I reacted to that. He also sent a peace dove reaction- whatever Yes, it's funny that you get the mod edit.

@ungewichtet OK cool. I thought it was funny too. I guess I'll have to be careful in the future with my jokes, maybe some things could get lost in translation. Oh well.

@Jipiq It's all good. Even making a pun of that name turned out to be a funny situation with the mods. It even brought out that guy who thinks the post was about him (there's that Carly Simon song again. LOL) And in light of how much he has freaked out regarding led clock lights, that is one hilariously ironic meme. I guess he's upset about paying rent? Anyway, Cheers.

on a positive note, HoS is replacing my Craftsman Series Bishop that developed a crack.

These are pictures of the replacement piece.

The House of Staunton is displaying great customer service here.

Your local artisan. I published a handmade chess from my country (Jalisco-Mexico); and now they are already doing it in India.

[is this the right thread?]

Among the things holding me back from getting an ACE Bobby Fischer Ultimate set in wood is that they come with single queens. Where would one start looking to get a second pair of queens to match?

I'd suggest starting a new thread with your question. I'm certain you would get more attention and good information. Good luck!

Is that really a dealbreaker? I find it hard to understand why. I have a couple of newer sets with extra queens and, frankly, they're more of a hassle than a help. They're almost never used and so sit around looking useless while the rest of the pieces get on with it.
