I just saw one of those DW chess sets at a auction. I thought it was a cool looking set and had no idea what it was.
DW?

There are quite a few copies of it - but it would be total deception if they did not take pictures of the actual pieces and the box they came in
Hi chess friends,
Perhaps someone here has had the experience of getting a set of pieces and regretting it afterwards. If so, here's your chance! :-) For this has been the case with my Chess Bazaar 4.0 Dubrovnik version 2 set I bought last year. This is the exact set: https://www.chessbazaar.com/new-1950-dubrovnik-bobby-fischer-reproduced-chess-set-version-2-0-in-stained-crimson-box-wood-4-king.html?___SID=U. It is in perfect condition, as good as new.
No complaints about the product per say - the quality is good, even excellent. It is more the design itself (and to a lesser extent, the size). Despite it being one of the most popular designs on this forum (a fact that probably lured me into getting it in the first place...), it just does not grab me. I suppose, for me, it falls too much in a kind of no-mans land between Staunton and Eastern/Soviet styles.
So, I would like to swap it for a 3,75" king set in good condition of similar quality/worth (although we could negotiate if the set being offered for the swap is more valuable).
I would love to own the Daniel Weil World Championship pieces or a set with strong Russian or eastern European features, or a modern set - am open to whatever is being offered. The only thing I do NOT want is a standard Staunton design.
Please send me a private message if you are interested, with a photo or two or a link, and if I like we can discuss it further. (I live in Berlin).
Thanks!
