I'm glad to have this opportunity to review the set. I'm not exactly, a "collector", so spending real money on a chess set was a big leap. But as soon as the set arrived, I knew it was one of the best purchase decisions I ever made.
The set is just so beautiful! The dark pieces, "Bois de rose Bud" are the richest color I've ever seen in a chess set. I do have another Rosewood set and this is a completely different experience.
In ordinary room light, the dark pieces are mysterious, almost black, much more subtle than they appear in the brightly lit photos. The pieces just cry out to be touched, lifted, and moved. The design is stable and hefty. The finish is perfect and high quality (I do follow woodworking channels and have a good eye for finishes). Though I said I'm not a collector, I do have several sets, many from decades ago, and this is now my unqualified favorite.
As far as "slightly imperfect" - someone will have to point the imperfection out to me as I have yet to find it. But I'll tell you, even at the full price of the set, it would be worth the price. Every chess set is beautiful in it's own way, but this one really knocks it out of the park.
* I'll add as a postscript that the set arrived in New York City in only 6 calendar days, and that packaging was thoughtful, thorough, and professional. This RCM is a class outfit!

J'ai acheté le jeu d'échecs Fischer Spassky Championship 1972 légèrement imparfait en bois de rose à un prix très avantageux, même si je ne trouve aucun défaut évident dans les pièces. En fait, je doute que je puisse le distinguer d'un jeu normal/« parfait ». Le bois de rose est magnifique, avec de superbes reflets orangés qui scintillent à la lumière. C'est sans aucun doute mon nouveau bois préféré. J'ai déjà fait appel à Royal Chess Mall à plusieurs reprises et j'ai une fois de plus été impressionné par la qualité des articles, le service et la rapidité de livraison. Je recommande vivement.
