MONTHLY ROUND-UP – JULY 2018

Another month passed and it’s time, to sum up the most important launches of the past month. Reproductions dominated the chess community over the past month, but none shines brighter than the Reproduced 1973 Petropolis 1979 Interzonal Tournament Chess Set. It was certainly the hottest set in our new arrival section over the past month. A few other announcements also took place last month – Dubrovnik Bobby Fischer Reproduced Chess Set Version 2.0 in Lacquer Finished Burnt & Reproduced Ferocious Knights 1890’s Russian Tournament Chess Set

Reproduced 1973 Petropolis 1979 Interzonal Tournament Chess Set asserted it’s dominance over the new arrivals section last month. A very special Staunton style set was made for the 1973 Petropolis Interzonal Chess Tournament held in Brazil. The set featured robust pieces with 4.5″ kings and impressive uniquely different hands carved Knights. It’s fitting that Brazilian player Henrique Mecking won the event. A similar style “Petropolis” set was also used in the 1979 Rio de Janeiro Interzonal tournament also held in Brazil. Robert Huebner, Lajos Portish, and Tigran Petrosian tied for first place honors. Just like our Mustang series, the King comes with two beauteous king finials(each side) & proudly stands at 4.3/4.5 inches and its base is robust 1.6 inches. Know More->

1950 Dubrovnik Bobby Fischer Reproduced Chess Set V2 in Burnt Lacquer Finish also made its debut and gathered a lot of fan attention. Like it’s predecessor, this chess set was designed without any religious symbols, without the king crown or bishop mitres. The pieces were designed for play and had wide bases and the pieces required a chess board with minimum 55 mm squares. Know More->

Another noteworthy announcement from the past month is the Reproduced Ferocious Knights 1890’s Russian Tournament Chess Set. This spectacular chess set was used in premier Russian tournaments at that time. The original set is weighted with finely turned pieces and exquisite hand carved knights & we tried our best to replicate the same. Know More about this Product->
