Hi Garry, thanks for contributing in the topic...for all the chess amateurs, the sets used in world championships, i mean the ones handled by the champions, represents the nec plus ultra of the chess sets one can ever dream to possess, ...is it any record of the destiny of each of these chess sets once the championship is over ? 

Did you keep one of the sets you used in your world championship matches against Karpov ?

Thanks for the comments Garry...Enjoy the forum

Garry, please forgive me for asking a somewhat off-topic question about a set Marcus had posted earlier--that of the 1962 Soviet Championship that graces the cover of The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal. Many of us are keenly interested in that set, but it seems to have disappeared. Do you know if any examples of these exquisite pieces still exist, and if so, where? Many thanks.
