1950' Fischer Dubrovnik Juego de ajedrez - Piezas de ajedrez solamente - Caoba teñida y madera de boj - 3.8 " Rey

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.
Pero, en general, ¡es un set estupendo!

Recibí mi juego de ajedrez en un tiempo récord, y las piezas son incluso más pesadas de lo que se anunciaba. El rey pesa unos 78 gramos, la reina 71 gramos, la torre 50 gramos y el caballo unos 60 gramos. La calidad es increíble: es un placer jugar con estas piezas y son realmente impresionantes de contemplar. Se nota que están hechas a mano.

Solo tuve un pequeño problema: una de las torres no estaba bien pintada. Envié un correo electrónico al servicio de atención al cliente y me respondieron enseguida, comprobaron el problema y me comunicaron que me enviarían una torre de repuesto de inmediato. Un servicio excelente.

Este es el segundo juego de ajedrez que les compro, y no me arrepiento en absoluto. Se toman su trabajo muy en serio y eso se nota. Muy recomendable.

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
otra vez.

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.

Llevaba tiempo buscando un juego de ajedrez de buena calidad, a un precio razonable y resistente, que pudiera tener a la vista y utilizar para jugar con los niños o para hacer análisis. Aunque me atraía el diseño Staunton de principios del siglo XIX, quería algo un poco diferente. Estaba viendo una reseña de «Random Chess Talk» y él tenía a mano una versión de Royal Chess Mall del Dubrovnik. Me gustó lo que vi, así que empecé a investigar las versiones de otros fabricantes del Dubrovnik para ver su interpretación de un juego clásico, bien documentado e históricamente significativo. Royal Chess Mall cumplía todos los requisitos que buscaba. Al recibirlo, inspeccioné el embalaje y no encontré ningún problema, salvo una pequeña abolladura que probablemente se produjo durante el envío; no fue culpa de RCM y las piezas del interior estaban en perfecto estado. Para mí, dos aspectos destacados fueron las bases anchas y sólidas y una progresión casi lineal desde el rey hasta la torre. Una cosa que siempre me ha parecido una distracción en un juego Staunton es que el rey suele ser desproporcionado en altura respecto al resto de la línea. Aplaudo la torre actualizada, que es más fiel al original, y creo que el caballo es uno de los más bonitos de todos los juegos que he visto. Para terminar, el juego se siente bien en la mano, está bien hecho, no tiene puntas afiladas que distraigan durante la partida y es algo que estaré orgulloso de legar algún día. Con un 20 % de descuento sobre el precio habitual y envío gratuito, sin duda considero que es una inversión que vale la pena. Gracias.

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

Este fue el primer juego de Royal Chess Mall que compré. Se decía que el Dubrovnik era el juego favorito de Bobby Fischer. Ahora entiendo por qué.

El juego de RCM estaba magníficamente elaborado: una artesanía exquisita, colores fantásticos, un auténtico placer para la vista, pero aún mejor al sostenerlo en la mano y jugar con él. No podría ser más cierto lo que dijo Fischer de que el mero hecho de sostener las piezas en la mano es una delicia. Son piezas muy sólidas y, en cuanto a jugabilidad, probablemente sea mi juego favorito.

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.

Bien hecho, sigue así.

Excelente calidad. Este juego es muy fácil de usar. Pero es su calidad lo que lo hace destacar.
