This reproduction set, made from Bud Rosewood and Boxwood, faithfully brings to life the pieces that Bobby Fischer proclaimed as his favorite. Fischer, a legendary chess grandmaster, once stated, "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."
