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.

Just like the original Dubrovnik used by Bobby Fischer, this chess set is sold unweighted at its base.

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.

1950 Dubrovnik/unweighted

This is another nearly perfect set like my former purchased "Dubrovnik/antiqued boxwood" set( which is weighted). This set in natural boxwood and mahagony stained boxwood is not weighted and superb for traveling and vacation. Yes i like it a lot because its Dubrovnik (my favourite kind of pieces) and so near to the original ones of 1950's chess olympiade. Thanks for the best service
to the royal chess mall team and the very fast shipment.
In addition i have 2 photos of my new set compared to the original one (photo to the right).

Making a childhood dream come true

My childhood dream was always to have a set of "Bobby Fischer chess pieces" and I think all his fans would agree with me too.
Buying this wonderful set at the Royal Chess Mall fulfilled a long-time dream of someone who always wanted to have this beautiful Chess set that they saw in the documentaries about Fischer.
I am extremely pleased with Royal Chess Mall's delivery and customer service. Thank you very much!

Outstanding

I've been wanting this chess set for the past 10 years and finally purchased it for Christmas. Great Craftsmanship, and great price. I previously purchased the 1970s Reykjavik peices this same time last year from Royal Chess Mall.

Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Set / Unweighted Base

There are some minor manufacturing defects, but it's not critical. Rather I am so picky. This is a wood product. And it is handmade. So it's ok. :)
Great look and quality chess set. Nice to hold in hands. Looks great too. I'm happy with the purchase.

High quality Dubrovnik reproduction

Very good workmanship and a sturdy set, even without weighted bases.
