Perfect for tournament play, they have been a favorite in Europe for decades. ## Description Plastic chess pieces / chessmen, Dubrovnik Style, weighted, felted These chessmen are considered to have significant historical importance and are a timeless design classic. This set was designed and made for the 1950 chess olympiad in Dubrovnik (Yugoslavia).The 1950 Dubrovnik chess set was designed without religious symbols (king's cross & bishop's mitre).. The pieces were sensibly designed to play with wide bases requiring a minimum of 55 millimetre chessboard squares. Originally were not weigted, however this set of pieces is. In a radio interview Bobby Fischer stated: This 1950 Dubrovnik chess set is the best set I have ever played on. It is marvellous.Fischer owned a 1950 Dubrovnik chess set that he kept in a safe, which was subsequently sold by a storage company to pay for an outstanding storage bill. A chess collector provided a chess set after Fischer requested it for the 1992 Fischer–Spassky rematch held at Sveti Stefan. This is the plastic replica of Dubrovnik set Dimensions (height|width at the bottom): King: 9,1 cm / 3,6 cm Queen: 7,7 cm | 3,6 cm Rook: 5,1 cm | 3,4 cm Bishop: 7,1 cm | 3,4 cm Knight: 6,1 cm | 3,4 cm Pawn: 4,7 cm | 3,2 cm Review: Ask yourself why you're even looking at this set. - Just a quick review to agree with others who gave it five stars. Go in with the proper expectations and you will be satisfied. These pieces are for playing chess. Notice I said "playing". They are not works of beauty, although in my opinion they perfectly capture that certain Soviet/Iron curtain aesthetic perfectly. I played with a somewhat similar set back in the early eighties when I was stationed in West Germany as an East German military intelligence analyst. I like them so much I bought a second set just to have extra queens. Here's the kicker. I also have an Noj Dubrovnik 1950 reproduction set that cost a heck of a lot of money. That being said, I love this set for what it is. Review: No extra queens - The product is fine for what it is but the set does not come with extra queens which is a pain. ## Features - plastic, weighted, felted, standard size - world known vintage design - unique feature: weighted with sand (not metal) - tournament size - selling for decades in Europe ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N0WCY58 | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #911,788 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #22,498 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | Dubrovnik Zagreb | | Color | Beige / Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 36 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Exchange, share | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 2 x 10 inches | | Item Weight | 1.65 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Chess and games shop Muba | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 36.00 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 43234-1001 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Number of Players | 2 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | Manual | | Size | 8.2 cm | | Subject Character | Queen | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Sports | ## Images ![Chess Pieces - Plastic, Standard Size, Weighted Chessmen - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612Y0VwDItL.jpg) ![Chess Pieces - Plastic, Standard Size, Weighted Chessmen - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wis2+shZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ask yourself why you're even looking at this set. *by A***T on July 1, 2025* Just a quick review to agree with others who gave it five stars.
