Exquisitely Crafted
This richly detailed chess set features elegant finish, extra weighting for steady play, and precise carving with buff polish for a luxurious touch. For those who value timeless design and impeccable artistry, this set is unmatched.
Historical Background
Originally commissioned for the IX. Chess Olympiad in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia (1950) and sculpted by Petar Poček, the pieces featured smooth curves, capped bishops, and uniquely elegant knights. Constructed from maple and chestnut, the set had a wider base and avoided religious symbols, marked by a discreet metal badge: "IX. šah olimpijada 1950 Dubrovnik Jugoslavija."
In the 1960s, Andrija Maurović redesigned the set with simpler knights and queens, often seen in Bobby Fischer’s games. His original set was stolen, making original Dubrovnik sets nearly impossible to find. This reproduction captures its essence with remarkable fidelity.
Collector’s Appeal
With only approximately 50 original sets ever produced, they are exceptionally scarce and valuable. Chessbazaar now offers a faithful reproduction at an affordable price, with improvements like weighted pieces for enhanced playability, making this a must-have for collectors.
Additional Highlights
- Uniformity: All pieces are precisely crafted for consistent design and balance
- Craftsmanship: Version 3.0 reflects unparalleled artisanal luxury and attention to historic detail
- Felts: Thick green felt ensures premium, quiet, and smooth gameplay
- Weights: Double-weighted feature enhances handling and control during play
Note: Original 1950 pieces were non-weighted. The 1970 commercial version (used by Bobby Fischer) has minor differences. The 1950 Dubrovnik Olympiad set was never available for commercial sale.
