1950's Soviet Latvian Chess Pieces are modeled after one of the favorite Latvian designs of Soviet Grandmaster Mikhail Tal.
 
The pieces have a unique and slender design which is aesthetically pleasing in their elegance. Wide Bases and sleek tops consistent in king ,queen and bishop make it a fresh change from the traditional Staunton design.
Knights are unusually large with their manes only on one side. The pieces have been double weighted using a combination of iron and lead studs to improve there playability on the chess board.
 
No wonder, this is one of the most popular designs of the soviet era!
Fact: The popularity of this design increased massively after it featured in the popular TV Series- The Queen's Gambit.

Very happy with the product. Real quality craftsmanship. Shipping was extremely fast.

I will admit, that I was skeptical because there was no reviews. But this is one of the best purchases I have made this year. The pieces have a nice weight and they are beautifully crafted. I was supposed to receive it by August, but arrived in less than a week. I will buy again from ROYALCHESSMALL.

This is a great looking set of chess pieces which I highly recommend!

Good enough

The pieces are good aside the knight that was built in two pieces (base + head) and also seems a little bit bumpy

Very nice, handcrafted figures and delivery faster than anounced.

One of the extra queens came with a slightly out of place weight, making it a bit wobbly, which I wasn't very happy about.
However, that doesn't take away from the beauty of these pieces and the fact that they arrived on time and safely packaged. The pawns are very small, but elegant. There is a clear contrast in size between the pawns and the other pieces. Overall, I'm happy to have bought this and to own yet another reproduced set of Soviet chess pieces. Thank you RCM :)

Incredible

I just love the design of these pieces, Royal Chess Mall were able to reproduce them in all their glory

Beautiful Chess Set

Elegant, slender design and a very nice weight to every piece. A beautifully crafted chess set with one spare queen of both colours. There is one minor flaw, being that one of the white queens has a slightly uneven base resulting in not standing as stable as the rest of the pieces.
