Jeu d'échecs Fischer Dubrovnik des années 1950 - Pièces d'échecs uniquement - Acajou teinté et buis - 3.8 " King

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.

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
encore une fois.

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.

J'avais envie d'un jeu d'échecs solide, bien fait et d'un prix raisonnable, que je pourrais conserver et utiliser pour des parties avec les enfants ou à des fins d'analyse. Bien qu'attiré par le design Staunton du début du XIXe siècle, je voulais quelque chose d'un peu différent. J'ai regardé une critique de « Random Chess Talk » et il avait en main une version du Dubrovnik de Royal Chess Mall. J'ai aimé ce que j'ai vu et j'ai donc commencé à faire des recherches sur les versions du Dubrovnik d'autres fabricants pour obtenir leur interprétation d'un jeu classique, bien documenté et historiquement significatif. Royal Chess Mall répondait à toutes mes attentes. À l'arrivée, j'ai inspecté l'emballage et je n'ai trouvé aucun problème, à l'exception d'une petite entaille probablement subie pendant le transport ; ce n'est pas la faute de RCM et les pièces à l'intérieur étaient en bon état. Quelques points forts pour moi sont les bases larges et solides et la progression presque linéaire du roi à la tour. Une chose que j'ai toujours considérée comme une distraction dans un jeu Staunton est que le roi est généralement disproportionné par rapport au reste de la ligne en hauteur. J'applaudis la nouvelle tour qui est plus fidèle à l'original et je pense que le cavalier est l'un des plus beaux de tous les jeux que j'ai vus. En conclusion, ce jeu est agréable à tenir en main, il est bien fabriqué, il n'y a pas de pointes qui gênent le jeu, et c'est quelque chose que je serai fier de transmettre un jour. À vingt pour cent de réduction sur le prix normal et avec la livraison gratuite, je considère que c'est un investissement qui vaut la peine d'être fait. Je vous remercie.

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.

Ce jeu a été le premier jeu Royal Chess Mall que j'ai acheté. On disait que le Dubrovnik était le jeu préféré de Bobby Fischer. Je comprends pourquoi.

Le jeu RCM était magnifiquement réalisé : superbe fabrication, superbes couleurs, très agréable à regarder, mais encore plus agréable à tenir en main et à jouer. Ce que Fischer disait à propos du simple fait de tenir les pièces en main est une joie qui ne pourrait être plus vraie. Des pièces super solides et, d'un point de vue fonctionnel, probablement mon jeu préféré pour jouer.

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.

Bravo, continuez comme ça.

Excellente qualité. Cet ensemble est très convivial. Mais c'est sa qualité qui le distingue.

The feel of each pieces are so smooth, well balance, especially the Knight!! I have about a bunch of Dubrovnik sets from every Chessmaker! Including the noj repro, their knights looks cartoonish compared to the RCM.
Dealing with RCM was a breeze! Super friendly. HThey are serious with their products. Well priced!!
Je viens d'acheter une autre version non lestée, juste au cas où il y aurait une rupture de stock.

1.Pieces are chunky and a pleasure to play
2. Set actually came in 12% heavier than advertised and is refreshing because let’s face it- the +\- 10% usually comes in in the lighter side for all vendors
Super speed delivery in 4-5 days from 7K miles away!
The color is awesome! Love the mahogany stain.
I think the Dubrovnik 2 version ( which is this set) is superior in aesthetics to the original Dubrovnik
Si vous envisagez d'acquérir un Dubrovnik pour votre collection, c'est celui-là qu'il vous faut !

No wonder this is a best seller and no wonder Bobby Fischer loved this set, I am so happy I bought this, it is even better than I thought it would be. I think it has now become my favorite set, it just has this 'awesomeness' aura to it!! All pieces look great, another 'must have' set for the serious chess set collector!!
