Hi My_night, amazing set. Could you share a webpage? I want this same set. Thanks
...but they deserve a nicer board!
Where have you bought it?
Is this a reproduction? Who made this set and where?
One of the most popular chess sets with a history. Dubrovnik is an absolute beauty in itself.
Got a matching board? How about sharing a complete set here?

I have made some videos using the Dubrovnik and of course Fischer's games, since he loved it!

My Dubrovnik set.
The picture shown here is of my set with a printed board that has an antiqued look to the light squares and a gloss finish, and also my MOM clock on the side. Shot in natural light coming through the livingroom window, and a black background behind to help contrast with the pieces. Right click the image to open in a new window for a larger view.
p.s. I use this for my desktop image.

I've been looking for that exact board but it doesn't seem to be available anymore.

@ Yenster1 I got my pieces and board both from Staunton Castle a couple of years ago. It looks to be in stock in 2.25 in. squares for $219. A bit pricey, but available if you are looking. I will add it goes pretty nicely with all of my antiqued sets.
@PDX_Axe, yeah that's where I was looking but I still don't see it. Yours has a lighter inlay border and better defined wood grain. The newer(?) version seems dull to me. Can you provide a link to the one like yours? Thanks.

That is the one I was looking at, and it is perhaps a "new and improved" version, which as usual is seldom as nice as the original one. The delineator on mine is lighter than on the one shown, which appears to be the same as the wood in the light squares. Of course, the entire image of the board surface is a print, which is glued to the surface of the board, then the heavy gloss finish is applied over that. I will look around a bit and see if I find any like mine elsewhere.
Thanks @PDX_Axe but please don't bother looking around. That's a very striking printed board. And though I usually don't buy printed boards, that exact one is an exception, but it went out of stock soon after I saw it a while back. It really does go well with your antiqued/distressed Dub set, which IMHO is the best looking Dub knight available. BTW, very nice pic.
