Exceptional Quality

Chess Equipment handcrafted by Expert Craftsmen with over 30 years of Experience carving these pieces

Just recieved Slightly Imperfect 1950'S Soviet Latvian Pieces and they are absolutely stunning. Could only find one slight imperfection on the entire set and it is barely noticeable. Very please with this purchase and would definetly order from here again and will recommend company to any one searching for a quality set of pieces.

Excellent

These pieces are amazing, much recommended. All the pieces are nicely weighted and are really nice to move. I also bought the 55mm (square size) rosewood board and they go good together. The pieces have a good proportional size to the board which makes them a perfect fit for eachother. As all the other reviews say the photos won't make up for what it looks like in person. The black pieces of rosewood are so beautiful but/and look a bit different depending on what light hits them. I realized that sunlight makes these pieces really stand out whilst with worse lighting the look darker and less "veiny"

Flawless

My second set of Chess Pieces from this Shop and again I'm very impressed from the quality especially for this low price.

Chess Bliss

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.

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).

3rd order from RCM. Excellent storage box!

What can I say. You did it again!

Wonderful and built like a tank to protect your precious chess pieces. Excellent again!

A+++

Stunning set

Absolutely stunning chess set. Exceeded our expectations. We've had them about a month now and both still comment on how beautiful they are every time we play.

The bud rosewood looks incredible in real life. However it's worth doing your research about bud rosewood and oxidisation before purchasing. Not a deal breaker for me but something I wasn't aware of beforehand.
