Nice pieces

Awesome…Awesome…Awesome!

This 1950’s Dubrovnik reproduction is incredible and an almost exact representation of the original 1950’s set. I feel this is one of the absolute best reproductions available and at a great price. You can thank YouTube’s “Random Chess Talk” for leading me to your store! :)

I purchased the mahogany-stained set and it looks so much like the original I was smiling from ear-to-ear for just about every piece as I unpacked! The buffing gives the pieces such a soft, satin glow and the overall craftsmanship is just beautiful. With a few nuanced differences, the Knight is very well done and bold. I appreciate the deference that Royal Chess Mall made to the chess community in changing the design of the Rook to better reflect the look of the 1950’s rook.

Not to overstate it, but these pieces are beautiful, honoring of the 1950’s version, and makes me proud to own a respectful reproduction of a piece of 20th century chess history.

French Chavet Added To My Collection

I own 40+ Chess Sets. Nice little collection. I was showing it off to a Chess Friend of mine, and he liked what he saw, but at the end asked "Where is your French Chavet Set?" I didn't have one. Thanks to my friends at Royal Chess Mall, I have corrected that omission with this beautiful set. The knights are particularly nice. Quickly becoming one of my favorites.

opere d'arte

scacchi bellissimi da vedere e da giocare, davvero complimenti. Comprati ed arrivati a casa in 7 giorni (India-Italia). Fantastico!

What a wonderful experience working with Royal Chess Mall. I had the 19" board and 3.6" Professional Staunton Chess Pieces sent to a freight forwarding company in Miami Florida, which took 7 days, with a final destination of Costa Rica and had concerns ordering it because of possible shipping damage and or damage as customs inspected the set in different countries (5 or 6) as it made it's way to me, I needed not to worry. The packing was fantastic, other then deliberate intent there is no way that the set could have been damaged.

The board has an incredibly smooth finish and is beautifully made as are the pieces. The board was flawless as I expected it to be, there were a few very small marks on a couple of pieces that some would call blemishes, to me it authenticates the handmade workmanship. I would have preferred a darker wood which to me looks a bit more elegant but opted for Golden Rosewood & Maple, which is really quite nice, due to the dark wood table that the set will be used on. The 19" board works very well with this set, and the size and added weight of the pieces are comfortable to use.

Not knowing what to expect as far as quality and the cost to return it being prohibitive I was reluctant to spend any more for a set then I did and after receiving it I don't believe that I needed to, but there is one other set I saw and the detail really caught my eye, and I am considering ordering one more of Royal Chess Mall's set of artwork.

wonderful purchase

Imperfect????

I bought this "Imperfect" set of Chessmen, saving $70. Slightly Imperfect 1950s' Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Pieces Only Set - Antiqued Boxwood - 3.8 " King
I received them today, expecting something to be wrong with them, easy to spot. I have spent over an hour trying to find the imperfection. I cannot. I have carefully studied all 34 pieces, they all look perfect to me.
I had never purchased an "Imperfect" set before from anywhere. This experience certainly makes it more likely I will again in the future. These Chessmen are beautiful
(see photo) - you can't have them back. I am thrilled with this purchase.
