Chess Pieces 

The original Dubrovnik Set was made in the fifties and sixties in the renowned master carver Jakopović's workshop. These are the pieces that Bobby Fischer proclaimed his favourite, this is the chess set that we can see him analyze with in various documentaries and photographs. He famously said ," I think it's the best chess set I've ever played on. It's just a joy to play with, a joy to hold, the definition of the pieces, the design, … it's just a marvelous set, but it's very hard to get, I don't have it."

Getting an original Jakopovic's set is almost impossible. Price of some of these sets which are in playworthy condition can run in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars and possibly more.  

We have bought to life a precise reproduction of the original Dubrovnik with increased ballast at the base. The dark side army has been mahogany gilded replicating the original Jakopovic's Dubrovnik Variants.
The Dubrovnik with its fat, chunky bases and a solid well proportioned design is a crown jewel for any chess player or collector.

Update: After feedback received from many chess collectors and players from the chess community, we have made revisions to the rook which has now a straight body and shank as compared to the tapered variant which was sold earlier.

Simply Beautiful

It looks better in person than it does on the website, and I thought it looked good on the website. The pieces are sturdy, well weighted, and balanced. I was worried the knights would be a little ugly, but they're more attractive in person. They used quality felt on the pieces, and I appreciate the extra queens. They fit very well on the board - not too crowded, and not too much space. You cannot fit 4 pawns on a single square, but these pawns have broad bases and I don't think they should be any smaller. The board is solid and well constructed. I wish the latches were less flimsy, but I've yet to see a folding chess set that doesn't use something like those. All in all, I'm quite pleased, and will gladly buy again if I can ever justify having another chess set in my house.

Hola, hay alguna diferencia entre el juego de piezas que incluye este set junto con el tablero y las mismas piezas cuando se venden por separado?
En estas piezas del set, las oscuras pone teñido de caoba, mientras que en las que se venden por separado pone caoba teñida, por ejemplo

Royal Chess Mall

Hola
Gracias por contactarnos.
No hay diferencia entre los dos juegos. Es el mismo juego de ajedrez con tablero Dubrovnik.
La única diferencia es que los combos tienen un descuento adicional en nuestro sitio web.

Good day,

Are the pieces sold with the board weighted or unweighted?

Royal Chess Mall

Hello Yoshlin
Thank you for your message.
The dubrovnik chess set sold along with dubrovnik chessboard is weighted.
The chess set is double weighted.

Hello RCM team,
How many merlons does the rook in this set have?
Is this indeed a thinner board than the Dubrovnik board which is sold separately?
Thanks and best regards.

Royal Chess Mall

Hello Henk
Thank you for reaching out to us.
The rook has 5 merlons and this is the same chessboard sold separately.
