1950s' Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Pieces
This design was created in the fifties and sixties in the master carver Jakopović's workshop. Being Bobby Fisher’s favorite set, it is very well documented in many photographs where he was analyzing the games. Once he said ," I think it's the best chess set I've ever played on. It's just a joy to play with, a joy to hold, the definition of the pieces, the design, … it's just a marvelous set, but it's very hard to get, I don't have it."
This is the reproduction of that famous design from Jakopović with increased ballast at the base.
The Dubrovnik with its fat, chunky bases and a solid well proportioned design is a crown jewel for any chess player or collector.
Update: After feedback received from many chess collectors and players from the chess community, we have made revisions to the rook which has now a straight body and shank as compared to the tapered variant which was sold earlier.
