Customer Reviews
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 โ 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.
Desideravo una scacchiera solida, di buona fattura e dal prezzo ragionevole, da tenere fuori e da utilizzare per le partite con i bambini o per scopi di analisi. Sebbene fossi attratto dal design Staunton del primo Ottocento, volevo qualcosa di diverso. Stavo guardando una recensione di "Random Chess Talk" e lui aveva a disposizione una versione Royal Chess Mall del Dubrovnik. Mi รจ piaciuto quello che ho visto, cosรฌ ho iniziato a ricercare le versioni di altri produttori del Dubrovnik per ottenere la loro interpretazione di un set classico, ben studiato e storicamente significativo. Royal Chess Mall ha centrato in pieno quello che stavo cercando. All'arrivo ho ispezionato l'imballaggio e non ho trovato alcun problema, a parte una piccola ammaccatura probabilmente subita durante la spedizione; non รจ colpa di RCM e i pezzi all'interno erano a posto. Un paio di punti di forza per me sono state le basi larghe e solide e la progressione quasi lineare dal re alla torre. Una cosa che ho sempre pensato fosse una distrazione in un set Staunton รจ che il re รจ generalmente sproporzionato rispetto al resto della linea in altezza. Apprezzo la torre aggiornata, piรน fedele all'originale, e ritengo che il cavaliere sia uno dei piรน belli di tutti i set che ho visto. Per concludere, il set si sente bene in mano, รจ ben fatto, non ha punte taglienti che distraggono dal gioco ed รจ qualcosa che sarรฒ orgoglioso di tramandare un giorno. Con il venti per cento di sconto sul prezzo normale e la spedizione gratuita, lo considero sicuramente un investimento che vale la pena fare. Grazie.
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.
Pictures don't do this set justice. Fantastic, balanced, and symmetrical. It fits perfectly on my maple/walnut 2.25 square board. I was so pleased with this set I purchased the antiqued version a few days later. Par excellence..well done sirs.
Bobby Fischer is my favorite chess player and to have a replica of his favorite dubrovnik chess pieces while playing with his games is such a surreal feeling. Next time, I'll save up for your chessboard. Thanks heaps!
Questo set รจ molto simile a quello originale di Dubrovnik del 1950. Ho fatto una ricerca online e ho trovato immagini e alcuni video su YouTube. La versione del Royal Cess Mall di questo set รจ molto accurata. L'ho confrontato con altri produttori e ho trovato che questo รจ il migliore. ร un piacere giocare con questo set. ร ben pesato. L'artigianato dell'intero set e l'intaglio del cavaliere sono eccellenti. Il legno รจ denso e la tinta Mahagony รจ molto vicina al colore originale. ร divertente pensare che Bobby Fischer avesse un set come questo. Ho una tavola da torneo pieghevole con caselle da 2,5 pollici. Si adatta perfettamente. Consiglio vivamente questo set di scacchi.
I've wanted to buy a Fisher Dubrovnik set for years. This set comes the closest and the detail on the knight is incredible. The finish on every piece is like fine expensive furniture. With the discount I could finally afford the set and I believe it's actual value is way more than what I paid. Thank you Royal Chess Mall. Even though it's from India it shipped to my home in the Eastern U.S. in 5 days from completely on the other side of the earth. I highly recommend and I am very happy.
Questo รจ il mio unico set intagliato a mano e lo adoro. Se mai faranno un re da 3 pollici, lo comprerรฒ di nuovo per il mio set da studio.
Adoro i pezzi degli scacchi. Suggerirei solo di realizzarli in 3,5". Sicuramente acquisterรฒ presto un nuovo set!
Adoro questi pezzi, ne vale la pena.
