Accurate reproduction of a Soviet chess set from the 1940s-1950s. This set is often called Michael Tal's favorite chess set. Such sets were made in the Latvian Soviet Republic (now Latvia) in Soviet times. (Mikhail Tal is Soviet and Latvian chess player, grandmaster, eighth world chess champion).
All chess pieces have metal weighting. The pieces bottoms are finished with black felt.
King is 9.8 cm, the base diameter is 38 mm Pawn is 4 cm, the base diameter is 31 mm Chessboard is not included!
The pieces made by my husband and me. We do not say that our chess sets are better or worse than the Soviet ones, they are just the same! All our chess sets, like the Soviet ones, are made by hand, the copier is not used! All chess pieces are made in style inherent in Soviet masters. The color is the same as in most Soviet chess sets has a beautiful color. Each our chess piece is painted by hand, in such way were painted many of the famous Soviet sets. This gives uniqueness and light vintage patina to our chess sets.
