Our Soviet Grandmasters Supreme Series Chess Pieces are an excellent reproduction of the famous chess set used in 1961-74 USSR World Championships.
(Reference Set courtesy www.chess-collection.de)
To add an interesting variation to the chess set, we have used Glass Eyes on the face.
Glass Eyes was a concept which was typically seen in German Or French Chess Sets.
The 1961 World Chess Championship match was played between Mikhail Botvinnik and Magician from Riga, Mikhail Tal. Although Tal was a strong favourite to win the match, Botvinnik won convincingly by a 13-8 margin.

To start, I like goofy-looking knights, they look more fun & cooler than those fierce or serious ones. The Soviet Grandmaster "Glass Eyes" Chess Pieces has the best unique knights i've ever seen. The kinda confused-surprised look of these knights is exactly what i look like when playing.
Well, all of the pieces in this set are just gorgeous. The quality and craftsmanship is really elegant and superior. No flaws, just perfect. I've played blits with these pieces (see pics), and the feel and weight is great, makes you wana play chess day and night. Kudos to Royal Chess Mall.
First class service and craftmanship. This old set got a 'new' face lift with the eyed knights (a touch more dealers & cravers should use). Man does it make the difference - the comments I get when I pull this out to play - its like a 'new' innovation to the young players (but older players know its been around a long while). Classic piece styling with a nice twist!
