Set di scacchi Fischer Dubrovnik degli anni '50 - Solo pezzi di scacchi - Mogano e bosso - Re 3,8

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!

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
di nuovo.

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.

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 è piaciuto quello che ho visto, così 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 è 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 è che il re è generalmente sproporzionato rispetto al resto della linea in altezza. Apprezzo la torre aggiornata, più fedele all'originale, e ritengo che il cavaliere sia uno dei più belli di tutti i set che ho visto. Per concludere, il set si sente bene in mano, è ben fatto, non ha punte taglienti che distraggono dal gioco ed è qualcosa che sarò 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.

1950s' Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Set- Chess Pieces Only - Mahogany Stained & Boxwood - 3.8" King

Questo è stato il primo set acquistato presso il Royal Chess Mall. Si diceva che il Dubrovnik fosse il set preferito di Bobby Fischer. Capisco perché.

Il set RCM era realizzato magnificamente: ottima fattura, colori splendidi, bello da vedere, ma ancora più bello da tenere in mano e da suonare. Quello che Fischer ha detto sul fatto che tenere in mano i pezzi è una gioia non potrebbe essere più vero. Pezzi super solidi e, dal punto di vista funzionale, probabilmente il mio set preferito con cui suonare.

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.

Ben fatto, continua così.

Ottima qualità. Questo set è molto facile da usare. Ma è la qualità che lo rende speciale.

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!!
Ho appena acquistato un'altra versione non pesata, nel caso in cui le scorte fossero esaurite.
