Marvelous post! thanks so much to all!!

Encantado que le gusta, Fernando.

Hi everybody, 

Somebody can help us to find out where to buy the Mexico 2007 chess set reproduction?

...Thanks Chuck...

The Mex2007 set isn't it a regular FIDE German knight set? Forgive if I'm wrong.

 Yes C.J, it is based on German Knight chess set, but the Eagles below are definitively Mexican!

Y de toda manera: QUE VIVA MEXICO CABRONES!

MADRE MÍA, QUE VULGARIDADES DÍCES MUCHACHO!!!!!! 

No amigo, no son vulgaridades, en Mexico es lo que dice cada ciudadano decente.

 Ah claro, caballero. Con toda e sta comunicación en español, creo que esta tarde set me antoja comer tacos.

Buen provecho, alguna idea relativamente al set de Mexico 2007 ?

And Vishy Anand with a poncho is all that was missing:

As in the cover of new in chess magazine, when he won.

MACRINUS,

While it might be impossible to know all the chess piece styles, I went through all pages in your forum and here's the matches that are missing according to my book,

Chess World Championships, 3rd edition, J. Gelo, 2006

-UNOFFICIAL (PRE 1886):

-London match tournament, 1851

OFFICIAL (POST 1886):

-LASKER V JANOWSKI, 1909

Thanks for your contribution C.J. Any pictures about these events and the sets used there ?

-FISCHER V SPASSKIJ, 1992

-KASIMDZHANOV VS ADAMS ,2004

*(LASKER V JANOWSKI, 1909 - Although some contemporaries such as Philip W. Sergeant and future Laskrr biographer Jacques Hannak believed that Leonardus Nardus, a wealthy chess patron, had persuaded Lasker to defend his title in 1909 against Janowski, most chess historians find this view unacceptable. Evidence is lacking that Marcus had an agreement with Lasker to risk his title. Edward Winter and other historians have rejected these 1909 games as a title match.)

I put Fischer - Spassky 1992, they used a dubrovnik set.

Oh, that's a tough task. They might be scattered all over the internet then again perhaps it's impossible to know exactly what type chessmen they used. Although most likely jaques Staunton. I don't think modern photographic camera was invented yet. Not till maybe turn of the century. But I'll see what I can find, because I love this thread

Exceptional!! I love Dubrovniks, I own four of them. The Pawns, I'm in love with those chubby little piglets.

This is a long shot but...

In post 10 - the 1886 match - does anyone know what type of set that is? I have a very similar looking set and I'd like to know it's origins

I just became aware in looking closely at pics of Anand vs Kasparov, New York 1995 IS THAT AN ORIGINAL CHRONOS TIMER they used? It certainly looks very similar in built, original black buttons, creme tone color, etc.
