About 1950s Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Pieces
The 1950s Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Pieces have been made as a tribute to one of the most famous sets ever in the history of chess, the Dubrovnik chess set that was used by Bobby Fischer himself. This set was originally designed in the workshop of master carver Jakopovic and has strong profiles, good balance and classic shape that combines beauty and utility.
Detailed Description 1950s Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Pieces
The 1950s Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Pieces for sale replicate the classic set that Fischer called “a joy to play with, a joy to hold.” Known for its wide, chunky bases and exceptional handling feel, this set has been refined based on feedback from chess players and collectors worldwide.
A key improvement is the updated rook design — now with a straight body and shank, replacing the previously tapered variant. Crafted from high-quality ebony and natural boxwood, the dubrovnik chess pieces are double-weighted for optimal balance and performance.

Care instructions
A wooden board and boxwood pieces will outlast you if you keep two things away from them: water and extremes. Everything below follows from that.
The board
Keep it dry. Water lifts veneer and swells solid wood; a spilled glass should be wiped at once. Keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators, air conditioners and fans: heat and dry air make wood shrink, humidity makes it swell, and a board that lives next to a heater will eventually gap at the joints.
Dust it with a dry, soft cloth. Smudges and fingerprints come off with a cloth that is barely damp. If the surface feels sticky, wipe it dry. Once a month or so, a little beeswax or a furniture polish such as 3M keeps the lacquered boards looking new; our boards have a melamine lacquer that takes polish well.
The pieces
Boxwood wants the same thing as the board: no damp, no heat. Store the set in its box or pouch, not on a windowsill. Do not use polish on the pieces; a dry cloth is all they need. A piece that has taken a knock can be re-felted; write to us.
Folding and travel boards
Close them with the pieces inside their compartment, not loose on the board. Magnets do not mind temperature, but the felt does mind damp, so dry a travel set that has been in the rain before it goes back in the bag.
If something has gone wrong with a set, see the warranty or write to shop@worldchess.com.
