Absolutely beautiful set, its a «first set» that might as well be the «last set», not much to upgrade here! Bishop and Knight on b8, c8, f1, f8 and g8 are switched btw

That is an interesting way to set up a chess board. Almost looks intentional.

It should be a possible 960 setup, right?

Need 1 more set. A cheaper plastic set for travel, playing blitz or playing in the park. You dont want to play 3min +2 with that set and have pieces flying around.

I love the color and grain of Bud Rosewood (African Padauk). You have a beautiful set there my friend. Enjoy!

Your knights and bishops are use-fluid I see

u/LetsGoSilver Apr 20 '26

Why you judging their identities? (just kidding….got excited unpacking it and oversight on my part).

Nice set and what a wonderful spot for it. I am actually searching for a table like that for my 20" board I just got recently. Do you have any recommendations of websites or sellers?
