New Website on Soviet Chess Sets

Collectors often ask me where they can go to learn about Soviet chess sets. Now there is a new website whose mission is to compile photos and good information about these increasingly popular sets. The site is titled Soviet and Russian Chess Sets,https://sovietchesssets.com/.  It complements materials in my Blog on Chess.com and the Facebook Group Shakhmatnyye Kollektsionery.

Read about the following sets, and many others, in our growing library of articles and in our Gallery, which provides a catalog of Soviet and Late Tsarist chess sets.

I saw you link on you Facebook page and I already have it bookmarked so I can follow your postings. Thanks.

It is a beautiful collection and all in non-restored battle-worn condition.

So friggin' cool!

The first domestic development in this area.
Wooden, large tournament touch board. Game Strength - 2nd rank.
Side length 45cm. Inside there is a shelf under the figures and under the "brains".
When placing the figure on the cage, a soft click occurs, either a sensor or something else is triggered.

Many thanks!
