Post Your Chess Sets

Man, that archbishop looks intimidating.

The chancellor looks a little bit like BCE's Queen (from Slovenia): 

Gaedel, the knight in these sets looks absolutely fantastic! Who made it / what is the set called? 

Here is my favorite chess set urban street art from chessbazaar.

In Russia we call this the elephant - 

And we call this the Longboat -

In Russian they also use the Arabic Ферзь ('Ferz'', lit, 'Vizier') for the queen

Yep! I love the names - 

Peshka (footsoldier)

Lad'ya (Longboat) [In Ukrainian it's called a tura, or tower]

Kon' (Horse)

Slon (Elephant) [In Arabic it's called a fil, which also means elephant]

Ferz' (Vizier)

Korol' (King)

Still love my old 1980s Luga chess set that I've already posted here.  

If you don't mind me asking, musketeer, how do each of the new pieces move for your variant? 

Hello again, y'all! 

Since I'm back in the US of A I've acquired two new sets. The first one, pictured below, is a reproduction of a 1959 Zagreb (which was originally designed for the 1959 Candidates' Tournament in Bled/Zagreb/Belgrade, and won by Mikhail Tal).  I love the bishops on this set.  King is about 3.75" tall.  Pieces are weighted and very stable.  I hope to use this one for many years to come  

My daughter does artwork and has recently added chess to her collection. Here is what she made me and her website. She will do custom artwork as well.   https://www.etsy.com/shop/BohemianArtnSoul/items

Those are really beautiful.

Yes it was my Xmas present

The Zageb 1959 set is not a reproduction of the set used in the 1959 Candidates Tournament or any other tournament.  The very popular Dubrovnik style sets were used in the 1959 Candidates Tournament.

Here''s a link to some footage on the 1959 Candiates Tournament:

And the link to my forum on the 1950 Dubrovnik Olympiad set and the possibiliy of it being used in the 1959 Candiadtes Tournamnet.

Bought a similar set for a friend in 1975. Always liked it.

Never seen this before, goodknightmike. Thanks!

You're welcome Up!

 Yes, I also had not seen that footage of the candidates tournament from 1959.   It is very nice to watch, a few times even.

Thanks goodknightmike.

Interesting how Tal tries to "tweak" Fischer with his delayed response to e4 and the exasperated look on his face on the footage.  Clearly all business.

Yes, that was interesting.  I put it into full screen mode where you can see the nuances like that better.  This behavior of Tal, I watched at least 3 times.  And it did look as if he tried to "tweak" Fischer.  The young Fischer still had his head on his hand looking kind of bored.
