1950s' Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Set- Chess Pieces Only - Unweighted Base - Mahogany Stained Boxwood

CHF 249.95

The original Dubrovnik Set was made in the fifties and sixties in the renowned master carver Jakopović's workshop. These are the pieces that Bobby Fischer proclaimed his favourite, this is the chess set that we can see him analyze with in various documentaries and photographs. He famously said ," I think it's the best chess set I've ever played on. It's just a joy to play with, a joy to hold, the definition of the pieces, the design, … it's just a marvelous set, but it's very hard to get, I don't have it."

Getting an original Jakopovic's set is almost impossible. Price of some of these sets which are in playworthy condition can run in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars and possibly more.

We have bought to life a precise reproduction of the original Dubrovnik with increased ballast at the base. The dark side army has been mahogany gilded replicating the original Jakopovic's Dubrovnik Variants.

Just like the original Dubrovnik used by Bobby Fischer, this chess set is sold unweighted at its base.

The Dubrovnik with its fat, chunky bases and a solid well proportioned design is a crown jewel for any chess player or collector.
Update: After feedback received from many chess collectors and players from the chess community, we have made revisions to the rook which has now a straight body and shank as compared to the tapered variant which was sold earlier.

Beautiful pieces

The Dubrovnik pieces are both aesthetic and functional; it is easy to see why they have become a timeless classic. The squat design makes even the unweighted pieces difficult to knock over. The mahogany stained ones go very nicely with the 55mm-square rosewood/maple board.

I have noticed comments elsewhere about quality control issues at RCM, but in my experience their craftsmanship is of a consistently very high standard, with painstaking attention to detail. Their customer service too is second to none. Enquiries are dealt with promptly, efficiently and courteously.

In short, if you are looking for high quality chess products backed by speedy and efficient service, RCM is the place to go.

1950 Dubrovnik/unweighted

This is another nearly perfect set like my former purchased "Dubrovnik/antiqued boxwood" set( which is weighted). This set in natural boxwood and mahagony stained boxwood is not weighted and superb for traveling and vacation. Yes i like it a lot because its Dubrovnik (my favourite kind of pieces) and so near to the original ones of 1950's chess olympiade. Thanks for the best service
to the royal chess mall team and the very fast shipment.
In addition i have 2 photos of my new set compared to the original one (photo to the right).

Wonderful

I love these unweighted Dubrovnik pieces, a reproduction of the original Dubrovnik, which was unweighted (and as such favored by Bobby Fisher for travel). One of the greatest chess sets ever made, I recommend buying it along with the incredible Dubrovnik folding board, also a faithful historical reproduction. The board can store these pieces. If there is one tiny thing about the Dubrovnik design, it is that the King lacks a cross, and thus can be confused with the Queen, who has the same little ball on her crown. This isn't Royal Chess Mall's fault; this is a small issue that I personally have with the original design. When the original was designed, in 1950, few if any Soviet-bloc chess sets had religious symbols.

A winning rendition of the ultimate classic: the official chess set of the first "modern", i.e.post WW-II, chess olympiad at Dubrovnik (Yugoslavia) in 1950. The stuff of legends!
Sharing Bobby Fischer's fascination for this type of set, I consider it to be at the pinnacle of the evolution of chess pieces design.
Amritsar craftsmen at Royal Chess Mall have successfully ressuscitated this "extinct species." THANK YOU!

Just wow!

I also have the NOJ version. But this RCM Dubrovnik has the better feel, the vintage look of mahogany stain is a winner, especially the knight!!

Making a childhood dream come true

My childhood dream was always to have a set of "Bobby Fischer chess pieces" and I think all his fans would agree with me too.
Buying this wonderful set at the Royal Chess Mall fulfilled a long-time dream of someone who always wanted to have this beautiful Chess set that they saw in the documentaries about Fischer.
I am extremely pleased with Royal Chess Mall's delivery and customer service. Thank you very much!

Outstanding

I've been wanting this chess set for the past 10 years and finally purchased it for Christmas. Great Craftsmanship, and great price. I previously purchased the 1970s Reykjavik peices this same time last year from Royal Chess Mall.

Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Set / Unweighted Base

There are some minor manufacturing defects, but it's not critical. Rather I am so picky. This is a wood product. And it is handmade. So it's ok. :)
Great look and quality chess set. Nice to hold in hands. Looks great too. I'm happy with the purchase.
