Like many people around my age, I learned to play chess in 1972 — a very easy year to remember because it was the year that the Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky match captured the World. My first chess set was rather like my first car: been through several uncaring owners and pretty clapped-out.
I have reached an age where quality matters and is much appreciated. My car is now a Jaguar; my chess set(s) are now Chess Bazaar. My last purchase was a Folding Travel Set (SKU: D0105). As usual, it turned up in amazingly quick time, was excellently packaged, and a joy to first admire. Sitting in my chess spot surrounded by such quality equipment is a wonderful place to be. Shame my chess isn't the same standard!
