Chess in it’s most dramatic effect, well done. I have this set named Alexandria Luxury Staunton from RoyalChessMall, one of 2 of my first African Padauk sets, one of 9 now. How’s the white oxidation dust problem affecting your Padauk pieces? I see some in the creases. I just received the Shera Series Staunton from ChessBazaar in a lacquer finish to avoid the dust problem.

[@Weldras]

buy some fine brushes and the problem is always solved for me - personally I keep the pieces in a wooden chess box :)

[@ferddiubaldo4324]

Yes, I clean mine with a toothbrush every 2 weeks, all my sets are displayed in a glass curio cabinet.

[@colinmurphy2214]

The queens, knights and pawns are the real showstoppers for me

[@BASTARD659]

Beautiful Knigths!!

[@conradsenior5843]

Thoroughly enjoyed that, including the music. Wonderful photography and specs are important also. IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE BETTER! Congratulations. In a sea of KZbin mediocrity, it was very pleasant to see perfection!

[@genedumas3956]

This is so beautifully photographed and edited, very professional. The camera work is excellent. I, for one, can appreciate some latitude with the design of all the pieces. I think they're gorgeous. I ordered a very similar set, in padauk and boxwood from the chessstore that I anxiously await the arrival. They're not as pricey as some might think, listed for $700, but do look for discounts in the usual places. I saved quite a bit. These are so elegant I'll have to display them, as well as enjoy some games.

[@johnstevenson9956]

That is one seriously beautiful set. Love the color of the Black pieces.

[@roberlevi]

I got here by watching the 2018 World Championship Match... the chess set is a masterpiece, but what really impressed me was the music... excellent choice...!

[@Weldras]

thank you!

[@-_Nuke_-]

Everyone: *Knight captures Queen is available!* Me: Yeah but my knight is so beautiful... I don't wanna lose it... :P

[@onebadhombre7158]

Those knights are breathtaking! Holy moly!

[@petronny1]

just beautiful

[@tank.4496]

Absolutely stunning set, thanks for sharing 👍😀

[@silvermyth2119]

OMG!!! This set is gorgeous! I'm more of a traditional Staunton chess player but the sheer beauty just swept me away! I'm also a small time collector so I couldn't resist the temptation. I went ahead and placed an order today. 👍

[@Weldras]

Nice :) Enjoy your new set

[@silvermyth2119]

Weldras thank you very much! I can't wait to get it! It'll be here via 2day Fedex :) I also wanted to thank you because I first saw this beautiful on your video! The videography is amazing and inspiring, great job! 👍 If you have other amazing chess sets, pls make more videos. :)

[@adsoargento]

@@silvermyth2119 Hello. Did you received your set? What´s your opinion with the pieces in your hands? I like these pieces too, so I ´m thinking about buying a set. Where did you buy it and how much is it? Thanks.

[@silvermyth2119]

adsoargento yes I rcvd it and it's an amazing set. I got it from India (Chessbazaar.com) it's listed there as the Indian-American luxury set. I got it on sale for approx. $295. They ship via FedEx & DHL so it arrives less than a week. Also you can get the set lacquered for a reasonable price which I would recommend. The hand buffed Paduk-Rosewood pieces will oxidize requiring frequent hand buffing which is a bit of a pain. Lacquer seals the pieces so they stay shiny and prevents oxidation. The pieces are nice and heavy and just feel great when you move them.

[@adsoargento]

@@silvermyth2119 Thanks for you respond!!! Enjoy your amazing set!!!

[@ems3832]

Quite ornate! Beautiful set.

[@Keithphotorama]

I do admit that your set is definitely nice!

[@ibrahimjaleel5900]

Indeed. The most beautiful chess set I have ever seen. Assumed it’s over thousand dollars.

[@Weldras]

around 600 when i remember correctly

[@ibrahimjaleel5900]

Weldras: Oh I see. What I assumed was to be correct if courier charges are included. I wish to own this set one day.

[@walshy2116]

They’re not too bad. Check out Staunton Castle and the chess empire. I got mine for close to US$300 pieces and US $425 the board and it’s like this set. Mines the Columbian set with 4.5” king made of African Paudouk and boxwood. They’re stunning!

[@ibrahimjaleel5900]

@@walshy2116 It looks really beautiful. Including postage to Maldives, I think it’s close to thousand dollars. Thanks for your message.

this is amazingly beautiful! Could you say more about the process of polishing lacquer? My chess pieces are very dull, opaque, and tried to use beeswax but the result was not the same.

[@joseantonioplaza8596]

I can see tiny white spots in some of the Red figures, and it's not the first one I have checked that problem. Is it usual in the padauk wood over time? I purchased a similar set (Imperial) but in gold palisander, and after a couple of years of intense use, still looks perfect

[@ferddiubaldo4324]

Hi Jose, Here is your answer to the white oxidation dust problem on African Padauk pieces which I have to clean with a tooth brush biweekly, not on all pieces or all sets. www.richimages.net/?p=7257

[@SpeedMechanic]

This bishop design always reminded me of Gonzo.

[@Chris-wk2nn]

Hey nice set man, it looks amazing! Could you please link the board?

[@Mirrodin82]

OMG!!! AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

[@ricar571]

¡Hello!. Watching the games of the World Champ. 2013 and 2014, this chess set would be better on TV and have better visual of the sizae of the piece. Thanks you for this video.

[@Weldras]

I think so too ;-)

[@evilcism]

How are they holding up today? Do they have alot of chips and dings now due to usage?

[@bobdole7292]

which board is shown throughout the video? thanks

[@The_Real_Indiana_Joe]

Best Knight ever!

[@Leonarden]

Actually I think the board is just right for this size of pieces. Don't want to over crowd yout board. Not to thrilled with that King's head, but very nice.

[@Weldras]

yea that kings head is the only drawback for me too :-/ nothing is perfect right^^

[@Leonarden]

Right still a beautiful set. That Knight is awesome.

What board is it

[@nurabdul1436]

How is the padauk color now? is it still as red as in the vid?

[@Weldras]

This set is now 5 years old and to be honest the padauk color changed more into dark brown, but it looks still pretty actually for me.

[@nurabdul1436]

Owh... is it closer to rosewood color now?

[@MrVoayer]

Wind blowing mane gives knights extra portion of drama. Somehow, King is less successful.

[@mod0049]

Nice set but the king lets it down , a more traditional king would look better.

[@Weldras]

Thats my opinion too

[@awakenedsoul2638]

To each his own. To me The King and Knight is the highlight of this set. You are only used to looking at the original king staunton design.

[@REEFBLUENOTCH]

Having bought your board separate, you bought too large of a board for your pieces assuming you had the pieces 1st.

[@Weldras]

+REEFBLUENOTCH yea had the pieces first. its a little to big, but still okey for me. thank you

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

2.5” squares board is perfect for a 1.875” King base diameter. Conversion factor I use is .765, so 1.875” / .765 = 2.45”. Love all the pieces, but can’t find this exact design anymore. Great music and photography.

[@melonenkopf2790]

I like the Knights crest and general look but the teeth and eyes make it look kind of dumb in my opinion. Looks like the knight was about to troll somebody

[@Weldras]

Haha you can look that way

I’m sorry but the king and queen ain’t it. Looks like someone shat on the queen’s head.

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

What Monstrousity on earth is this??? The knights are having a bad hair day, they look like me after I wake up from a weekend in Vegas, or Tijuana.. The king's head is too bulbous and finial (cross) is way oversized & ornamental, the bishop's deep cut looks like he's trying too hard to stand out from the crowd (a poor artist's choice in my opinion. A medium sized, more diagonal cut would've done it. Sometimes less is more.) The rest of the pieces look proper. Dark pieces look amazing in that wood type. I don't like black squares in a board but in this case in contrasts well with the rich dark red. Actually, I'm sure I'd get comfortable with the set once I played a few games with it. And perhaps I would even become fond of it. So congratulations, I envy you.
