Zeer fraaie Pro Staunton 4.1" stukken van verzwaard Rozenhout welke geweldig in de hand liggen in combinatie met het 21" Groen en Esdoorn HDMR Schaakbord. Een terecht podium voor deze topstukken!
I love the design. White king was broken when I opened the package. I emailed and explained the situation. I received my new piece in a week. Thank you Royal Chess Mall
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.
But overall, this is a great set!
Its perfect, thank you for your attention and for this chess pieces
Boxwood is wonderful (antiqued box chess pieces )
I was a little unsure when ordering something like this online, but I’m genuinely impressed. The wood finish looks even better in person and the board itself feels solid and well balanced. I mainly use it in the backyard or study, and it’s become a real conversation piece. Definitely not something you see every day.
Very, very pleased with my recent purchase, which was the 3.3” Spiraled Steed Luxury Chess Pieces.
Beautifully crafted pieces, superbly packaged, and great feedback at all times regarding delivery.
Absolutely delighted with these chess pieces.
I would highly recommend Royal Chess Mall, to anyone looking to start or expand their chess collection.
Very nice pieces. Overall very good for an "imperfect" set. Some of the ebony pieces were somewhat unfinished, ie matted or different detail to white pieces, or slanted. That said, another imperfect set i bought was perfect, so maybe a bit hit and miss.
Received my chess set in record time, and the pieces are even heavier than advertised. The king weighs about 78 grams, the queen 71 grams, the rook 50 grams, and the knight around 60 grams. The quality is amazing—these pieces are a joy to play with and truly impressive to admire. The craftsmanship really shows.
I had only one small issue: one of the rooks wasn’t stained very well. I emailed customer service, and they responded promptly, checked the issue, and let me know they were sending me a replacement rook right away. Excellent service.
This is the second chess set I’ve purchased from them, and I have no regrets. They take their work seriously and it shows. Highly recommended.
The whole set is incredible, not only for its craftsmanship and quality, but also for its aesthetics and proportions. Just look at the knights! I might disagree a little with calling it a "travel set," as it's more like a new chess set for a new home. Anyway, I loved it
Beautiful and perfectly handcrafted. It elevates the pleasure of playing chess.
There was indeed slightly darker shade of brown on some of the dark pieces, but if they wouldn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it.
I tried to find a crack in the pawn that they showed me, but I could not.
So to me it's a perfect chess set.
The weight turned out to be 1760g, which is 60g heavier than declared.
In the pictures I tried my best to do the correct exposure to show how the set is looking with my own eyes in natural daylight.
Heerlijk om op schoot te gebruiken voor het naspelen van stellingen, gemakkelijk weg te zetten zonder dat de stukken omvallen, magnetisch en met een lade. Een groot genoegen om mee te spelen en naar te kijken.
This chess will be cherished for generations to com.
Mooi uitgevoerd magnetisch schaakbord, geweldig om op schoot te gebruiken, stellingen na te spelen en even makkelijk weg te zetten zonder dat de stukken omvallen. Erg mooi uitgevoerd met een lade. Kortom een genoegen om mee te spelen en naar te kijken.
Beautiful to look at, fantastic to hold. The weight of these slender pieces is incredibly satisfying to feel. These pieces are even more beautiful than what the computer shows. Super, super happy with these!
The burnt orange color of the brawl, pattern contrast beautifully with the black squares, and this lends a rich quality to the chess pieces. It looks particularly stunning with my gold and silver metal Soviet style chess pieces, Very happy with his purchase.
A set boasting a beautiful chessboard, handsomely crafted knights and pieces that feel satisfyingly weighted.
It works well on my busy desk
This set is gorgeous. I find myself just looking at it than using it in study. The design looks much more fun than traditional staunton; and i'm sure this will be more fun too in blitz - as it looks sturdy enough to withstand rough play. However, my copy has one White rook that's darker than the rest of the white army, it doesn't stand out, but it's noticeable.
This classy set has all the traditional Staunton hallmarks, the bishops in particular being reminiscent of some 19th century Staunton designs. The ornate knights are what make the set so distinctive, with their artistic carvings and flamboyant manes. That said, their playability isn't affected; they are both comfortable to hold and move easily on the board.
If you're looking for a contemporary Staunton set that's a little bit different, this could be the one.
Thanks to RCM's excellent customer service, the pieces arrived quickly, safely wrapped and packaged in a virtually indestructible box.
Kudos!
What a beautiful chest set, far exceeded my expectation, unpacking the chest set is a wonderful experience , it is so well packed it’s a delight to unpack each individual piece and place them on the chessboard which on its own is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship . Please thank the craftsman that produced this beautiful product . Best wishes to you all . Gary .
I bought this board to go with these pieces, also from Royal Chess Mall. A nice match! The board came well packaged without any problems despite a random trip to US Customs. The board is printed but it also has semi-glossy (not shiny glossy) overcoat so I think the print is protected. The edges are nicely done and the back is full green velvet. Very pleased.
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.
These pieces are very rich in their colors. The boxwood is almost buttery, and the bud Rosewood is a beautiful mahogany color. Very well sculpted, I’m actually amazed that they could do it this smoothly this exquisitely. And the horses! Over the top amazing. They look like horses who are tossing their heads, which gives them a very active appearance. The quality of the royal chest small pieces has greatly impressed me over and over again. I have about six chess sets right now, lol.
