Yes, indeed. That's the place. A really good shop.
Are you from Madrid?. I usually go to play to the Alcorcon chess club from time to time.

Nope, from USA. Interent makes the world only a mouse click away
Can even find picture of the inside:

Mike, the set arrived today in good condition. The first thing that struck me is that the box it comes in is great. Nice finish on the pieces and the box. Unweighted but seem stable. My only gripe is that there are no extra queens, but HOS spoiled me there. Here are a few pictures from my desk.

Wow, sure wish we had a store like that in this general area. Would so prefer to lay our eyes and hands on the pieces we buy versus photos.

K--yes, that's it!
Nice! I think the storage box just might trump the extra queens.

I agree. It's not like I don't have a million other queens I could schlep along.

Chuck, were the pieces wrapped or were they shipped loose in the box?

Mike, they were loose in the box. That said, I can't say I see any damage, or even how these pieces could be damaged by rattling around.
