Very nice bud, I'm tossing up between this set or the 59 Zagreb for the next addition to my small collection.

White bishop and horse not correctly set up 😉

[@JulioVelezz]

Thanks. Great catch.

[@wagnerkuhn4459]

This reproduction set looks like very closed to the original. However, the original Dubrovnik's rook is fatter than ChessBazaar's 3.0 Version, isn't it?

[@chriswalker810]

I think the Rooks look good. Watch the Dick Cavett interview with Bobby and his Dubrovnik set. You will see the Rooks do look similar in thickness. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJmyi2SMe7Bnp9E

[@wagnerkuhn4459]

@@chriswalker810 I"ve just seen Fischer's interview. Looking at that rook and ohter sources, it still seems that the original was a bit "fatter" than CB's. The Repro Knight is somehow "reinterpretated" on the original one; someone could say "improved" but it would be better if just reproduced, simply.

[@chriswalker810]

@@wagnerkuhn4459 Well they were hand made and with that there will be variations in sizes. Yugoslavia isn't known for precision. Me personally I am okay with the Rooks CB has for this set. The improved part is that 3.0 is much better than their 2.0 and 1.0 versions CB has made. They are much closer to the original than they did with the other two versions. Improvements for sure. I also looked at the original one posted up on House of Staunton's website and the Rook thickness seems fairly close to what is currently being reproduced. Unless someone takes a pair of calipers to the original and compares it to a reproduced copy. It is kinda subjective.

Beautiful set J, what size are the squares of the chessboard you have these pieces on?

[@JulioVelezz]

2.25 x 2.25 inches

3 ITERATIONS of this set from Chessbazaar, those who have purchased versions #1 and #2 KNOW the bad problems with this company getting Dubrovnik even CLOSE to what is should look like and NO I do not mean like the 1950 version( this is supposed to be the 1950 version!). The knights STILL don't look good for this 1970's version!

Those are beautiful

Nice!

[@demolicionesdemexico]

beautifull pieces

[@slimgpd]

Are the pieces lacquered?

[@JulioVelezz]

I don't think so. I didn't see any mention of this on their description page.

[@khaledmuhanna9665]

could you please show how these look like on a green vinyl board?

[@JulioVelezz]

Yes, I will do it on the weekend.

[@khaledmuhanna9665]

@@JulioVelezz thanks, im thinking of getting them but i don't have a wooden board lol. also going for the bobby fischer look

Here is the video:kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3vbpoZtm66oZ5I

[@ragnorak56]

Thank you for the video. Is your set lacquered or not?

[@JulioVelezz]

I don't know

[@chrisjovan]

It looks like it is not. Lacquered white pieces have an antiqued look. And by the way I ordered the same set. But mine is crimson. How many weeks did you wait from ordering to door? I love your colour too.

[@JulioVelezz]

I waited about 2-3 weeks.

[@michael2244]

I don't like the bishop, just make it one color

Hey I have been searching for an affordable Dubrovnik style set of chess pieces. These look promising so far. How is the weight on these? Are they good for actual playing? I am very new to chess, but still wanna have a pretty set I can display ^^ Also thanks for that coupon. I can get this set for a 100 bucks now.

[@JulioVelezz]

The weight and other information is in the link to the website. So far I am enjoying playing with these pieces. They look great!

[@KaiSchSp]

@@JulioVelezz Thank you for your answer. You helped me a lot. May I ask what that board in the video is made of? It looks quite nice.

[@-johnny-deep-]

@@KaiSchSp There's a link to it in the description. Apparently, it's mahagony.

[@sexdrugsrocknroll420]
