I enjoy the historical designs, but the Staunton styles are still my favorite. I really like the "stallion" style you showed. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, Stanton really is an exquisite design. And it's doubly hard for any other style to get our attention, since we were raised on the Staunton standard. I like to consider other times and places as well... And what could have been

Thanks for the good comment. The set shown here resembles the set Fischer and Spassky used in the 1972 World Championship. But perhaps you are thinking of Fischer's favorite, the Dubrovnik set, which was his personal set ... that one does indeed have the knights' heads curved to point downward.

Thanks for the comment Jeff -- always good to hear from you! We all have certain aversions don't we? ...certain things that just run against some inner sense we have of what feels right in a chess set. The cross-colored bishop tops is a very popular theme in many sets, mostly from the 'Eastern Bloc'. ... but usually not the whole head like this. Personally, you know what style of chess set I can't stand? Those cheap little plastic ones I used to have to play with when I was in school. And we played on red and black checker boards. I felt like the game of chess itself was being insulted, just to have to manage such junky little sets. But all this stuff here ... I just kindof like the cultural variations. I would be happy playing on any of these sets

Can you subtitle your videos to Spanish? I would like them to be shorter and show the six pieces online and always in the order King, Dame, Bishop, Horse, Tower and Pawn, going from left to right of the image. I can not understand what you are saying because I do not speak any English. I'm using google translator. Luck. Thanks for your tutorials. It would also be good to try an optimal place to focus and do not work so much to the automatic focus, because when you move from behind the camera does not know what to do.

Hey come on Carlos, I make the videos with the equipment I have, not the equipment I would want. It happens that I have a better camera now, so future videos will be better quality. But there's no time to go back and re-make old videos, just time to move forward with the new. If you are really interested in these chess sets, please check my listings and see if the photos there serve your eye any better. In the meantime, I'm quite comfortable with the fact that not every viewer will be 'sold' on these chess sets just by watching this video.
