1935 Botvinnik Flohr-II Soviet Chess Pieces Only Set -Distress Antiqued Boxwood & Ebonised Boxwood- 4.4" King

Admittedly, this is my first "nice" chess set, so I may be biased, but I am floored by the quality of product I received. While the shade of the light pieces was slightly different than what I expected--there are highlights and swirls of bronze that don't quite make it through in the display photographs--I'm not bothered by it at all. In fact, I think I like them more than I initially anticipated! The carving is perfect, every detail immaculate, and the finish is smooth and flawless. Every piece arrived in mint condition.

I highly recommend Royal Chess Mall to anyone interested in perfect chess pieces, and I will absolutely return when I'm ready for my next "nice" set.

I live in the UK; I have bought from Royal Chess Mall on four separate occasions and each time has gone smoothly. A problem with one order was rectified immediately (thank you Manwinder) and I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again. Overall, excellent service and value for money with interesting range of stock. The Botvinnik Flohr II pieces are beautiful and well made for the money.

Really, really excellent. The only thing is that perhaps the two colors of the pieces lack suficient distinctivity. But I really love them.

A very nice set. Well executed and finished. A lighter hand on the application of the "distress" finish to the White pieces would make this a masterpiece.
