Nice set!  Can you tell me where you got that 1.75 sq board?

You sir are a connoisseur, it's Rechapados Ferrer walnut/maple board:

This Repchapados Ferrer board is also available with CoolChessCanada,

and Regency UK, (out of stock for now.)

Maybe shipping from Canada might work out cheaper for you in US.

That's a beautiful set you got there. The chess pieces are simply stunning.

I love the way Mandeep has done his Dubrovnik design and had approached on chat
to ask, if he can do a Library version of his Dubrovnik.

He refused saying that to make a chess set in different sizes, they have to make its formation cutters
which is a very expensive process.

As of now, there is no Analysis version of the Dubrovnik (except in plastic)

Maybe if more people were interested in a Library style Dubrovnik, one of these guys might
offer it. Who knows, maybe even NOJ.

Sign me up for Dubrovnik library size yes please...It's my favorite nr 1 design. Sofar I've found Yugoslavian 3'' set or Zagreb 3'' that come close but the smaller base is deal breaker for me.

BTW, there are 2 version of RF 1.75 Sq boards, one with broad rim and a small one. I chose purposely for the small rim to make it compact as possible.
