1950'ernes Fischer Dubrovnik skaksæt - kun skakbrikker - mahognifarvet og buksbom - 3,8 " konge

This is my second set from Royal Chess Mall, and both have shown excellent craftsmanship and value compared to other merchants. I will continue to shop from RCM when looking for wooden pieces.

I think this set actually looks amazing on my standard green and white roll up tournament board! It is my preferred set to travel with if I am playing slower time controls. With the knights lacking protruding ears or manes and and the kings having rounded finials, the set is robust enough to travel with if I don't except really rough play (I'd still take a plastic set for blitz play). YT chess reviewer Al Su feels the same way.

I did have a pawn crack sometime in the first few weeks, but RCM stood by their warranty and rapidly replied to my email. It did take a few weeks for the piece to ship so I suppose the piece had to be manufactured, but I am happily playing with a complete now.

A beautiful set, worth the price; well actually, this is one of the most affordable Dubrovniks, thanks to Royal Chess Mall. This is a robust set, very nice in an actual game.
Now for the nit-picking. Only a couple of very minor things. First, i think the original Dubrovnik has Rooks with only 5 merlons, representing the 5 regions or provinces in former Yugoslavia (...could be wrong with geography here) ... however, this reproduction has 6 merlons on the Rooks. And last, the lines on the Knight's face are cut a bit deep, i think, also the edges are quite sharp; these could be softened a bit.
Men alt i alt er det et fantastisk sæt!

Jeg modtog mit skakspil på rekordtid, og brikkerne er endda tungere end angivet. Kongen vejer omkring 78 gram, dronningen 71 gram, tårnet 50 gram og springeren omkring 60 gram. Kvaliteten er fantastisk – det er en fornøjelse at spille med disse brikker, og de er virkelig imponerende at se på. Håndværket er i top.

Jeg havde kun et lille problem: En af tårnene var ikke særlig godt farvet. Jeg sendte en e-mail til kundeservice, og de svarede straks, undersøgte sagen og meddelte mig, at de straks ville sende mig et nyt tårn. Fremragende service.

Det er det andet skakspil, jeg har købt hos dem, og jeg fortryder det ikke. De tager deres arbejde alvorligt, og det kan man virkelig mærke. Kan varmt anbefales.

I am very Happy with my purchase, this set has become one our favorite sets.
the weight, feel and straight up good looks. would buy from Royal Chess Mall
igen.

I had been casually collecting chess sets over the years, albeit cheap, barely playable sets made with coarse design and cheap materials. Recently, I've found my interest in collecting chess sets renewed, but now for the more elegant pieces crafted from finer materials — the sorts of chess sets that one can proudly gift to a younger enthusiast or bequeath as a family heirloom. This Dubrovnik set is no exception, and just the unboxing experience earlier this evening made me feel as though a part of chess history had reached forward from the past to touch me in the present. My hope of acquiring an original 1950 Dubrovnik set are beyond remote, yet having even a facsimile like this set allows me to experience what the original pieces might have felt like (but for the extra weight incorporated in these modern pieces, which is an attribute modern players have come to expect).

I purchased the Mahogany-stained boxwood and Natural boxwood pieces. These pieces are elegant, yet possess a substantial heft which makes them more stable on the chessboard. Their finish is polished to a gleaming satin without any distracting glare. The green felted base pads ensure that as the pieces come down onto a chessboard, no abrasion or other aggressive contact mars either the pieces or the board. I find myself continually admiring the craftsmanship in the knights, which capture just enough realism to be recognised as the iconic horse in appearance without emulating the complex visual nuance of a living horse. The execution of the 1950 Dubrovnik knight was a fine balance of simple geometry for ease of production against the aesthetic demands for a familiar equine profile.

All in all, I would highly recommend this set for anyone whose collection lacks a Dubrovnik representative. Surely not everyone will play it as their go-to set, but I believe that everyone can admire the innovation of the design while still reading it as a Staunton set with a healthy Slavic variation.

Jeg havde længe ønsket mig et veludført, prisvenligt og solidt skakspil, som jeg kunne have stående fremme og bruge til partier med børnene eller til analyseformål. Selvom jeg var tiltrukket af det tidlige 1800-tals Staunton-design, ønskede jeg mig noget lidt anderledes. Jeg så en anmeldelse af „Random Chess Talk“, hvor han havde en version af Dubrovnik fra Royal Chess Mall ved hånden. Jeg kunne godt lide det, jeg så, så jeg begyndte at undersøge andre producenters versioner af Dubrovnik for at se deres fortolkning af et klassisk, velundersøgt og historisk betydningsfuldt sæt. Royal Chess Mall opfyldte alle mine krav. Da det ankom, inspicerede jeg emballagen og fandt ingen problemer bortset fra en lille bule, der sandsynligvis var opstået under transporten; det var ikke RCM's skyld, og brikkerne indeni var fine. Et par højdepunkter for mig var de brede, solide baser og en næsten lineær progression fra konge ned til tårn. En ting, jeg altid har syntes distraherede ved et Staunton-sæt, er, at kongen generelt er uforholdsmæssig høj i forhold til resten af rækken. Jeg bifalder det opdaterede tårn, der er mere tro mod originalen, og synes, at springeren er en af de smukkeste i ethvert sæt, jeg har set. Afslutningsvis føles sættet godt i hånden, er godt lavet, har ingen skarpe kanter, der distraherer fra spillet, og er noget, jeg en dag vil være stolt af at give videre. Med 20 % rabat på normalprisen og gratis forsendelse anser jeg bestemt dette for en investering, der er værd at gøre. Tak.

The pieces arrived in a sealed box in seven days. The pieces were individually wrapped so as not to touch each other. The unboxing was so exciting that I felt like a child opening his Christmas gift.

I placed the pieces in a 2.5 inch square board. The pieces looked like they were ready for battle. I liked the contrast of the light boxwood pieces and the mahogany stained dark pieces, with their different shades of hue. When I moved the pieces, I felt like they were like butter sliding in a glass. It will be a real pleasure playing with these pieces.

I weighed the pieces individually. The total weight was 1,416 grams. The site declared a weight of 1,350 grams, so I was pleased with the weight of the pieces. Sometimes, I feel like I just want to hold and admire these pieces as it gives me great pleasure.

In conclusion, the pieces met my expectations. Kudos to Royal Chess Mall for providing us chess lovers with a good replica of Bobby Fischer's favorite chess set, at a good price, and excellent service.

1950s' Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Set- Chess Pieces Only - Mahogany Stained & Boxwood - 3.8" King

Dette sæt var det første sæt fra Royal Chess Mall, jeg købte. Man sagde, at Dubrovnik var Bobby Fischers yndlingssæt. Jeg kan godt forstå hvorfor.

RCM-sættet er virkelig flot udført – fremragende håndværk, smukke farver, der er en fryd for øjet – men endnu bedre at holde i hånden og spille med. Det, Fischer sagde om, at det er en ren fornøjelse bare at holde brikkerne i hånden, kunne ikke være mere sandt. Brikkerne er super solide, og rent funktionelt er det nok mit yndlingssæt at spille med.

This set, and the quality manner in which RCM produced it, has for better or worse got me "hooked". This set was the first of what has now become five transactions with RCM- so far, each transaction has been marked by great customer service and a tremendous high- quality product that I love.

Godt gået – bliv ved med det gode arbejde.

Fremragende kvalitet. Dette sæt er meget brugervenligt. Men det er kvaliteten, der får det til at skille sig ud.
