An Exquisite Masterpiece: Exceptional Craftsmanship and Outstanding Service
Verified review
This piece is truly a masterpiece of beauty, showcasing perfect proportions and extraordinary quality of materials, specifically Ebony and Boxwood. The craftsmanship is ultimately exquisite, deserving of the highest respect and compliments. The packaging was fantastically secured, and I deeply appreciate the care taken to ensure that all pieces arrived in an immaculate state—pristine and flawless.
The delivery was impressively fast and traceable, adding to the overall outstanding experience. Additionally, the genuine leather pouch included is beautifully crafted from superb materials, a lovely and thoughtful touch that adds to the overall allure of the purchase.
Moreover, the price was fair and truly worth every cent, considering the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of the product.
I am certainly looking forward to making more purchases in the future. Thank you once again for providing such an exceptional product and service!Posted on

Beautiful Chess Set, Unfortunately Not 100% Historically Accurate
Verified review
I purchased one of these sets from the previous series. The shipping time was excellent as was the wrapping and packing which was bomb proof.
My only disappointment in the earlier series is that some of the pieces were not historically accurate. The Rook did not have sloped sides and it only had 4 cuts in the turret not 5. The Knight is excellent. There are a few minor differences in some of the other pieces that are not technically accurate. Again I believe these have since been improved.
All in all I received a beautiful chess set and I am very happy. The new series is a further improvement.Posted on

Beautiful but....
Verified review
This is a beautiful board but it arrived with some slight imperfections that might be considered major to some. But these issues I feel could have easily been avoided and should have been noticed by quality control. I did get a substantial discount due to international chess day sale on top of already discounted price which made the purchase still very worthwhile.
Problem #1- 3 white squares have red stain on top of them from border I assume.
Problem #2-the border wood stain is obviously lighter in places and not as even as it should have been.
Problem #3- The grooves are missing some stain altogether or the surface color was scratched off somehow. Hard to tell which it is.
Problem #4- In the right light you will notice scratch marks all over the border that I assume is from buffing??? Not sure but they are there.
I did not notice any of these problems at first inspection. It was only when I got closer to play a game on it that all these really became noticeable to me.
My phone camera was not able to really pick up the red stain on the white squares but it is very noticeable to the naked eye when playing- not so much from say 3 or more feet away.
Board arrived quickly to Midwest USA from India. Very well packaged. Very well made. Just the slight cosmetic flaws that are irksome. Would still purchase it. It is that nice of a board and why I did not give it 2 or 3 stars for flaws.Posted on

Beautifully styled and executed set, Gorgeous Knights
Verified review
I fell in love with those wonderful, elegantly styled knights the second I laid eyes on them. And the rest of the set is just as beautiful. Expertly crafted pieces, great value and quite unique among Staunton-type sets. Love those double collars! Shipping and packaging swift and flawless as always.Posted on

Excellent craftsmanship, elegant design: Great Value!
Verified review
This is my first order from Chessbazaar for almost 3 years (after 20+ sets between 2018 and 2021), and I'm no longer collecting chess sets. But when I saw that they now make a larger version of the Dubrovnik 3.0 set, I know I wanted one. With a 40% store discount the price came to just $250 including import tax (pre-applied, which simplified the import enormously) - great value. The craftsmanship is excellent, practically flawless. Elegant, well-weighted set in beautiful boxwood and padouk. Super-safe packaging, as always.Posted on

Beautiful set! Need to be more accurate with stated weight!
Verified review
Beautiful carvings for this Russian style set. A pleasure to look at and play with. Perfect size for travel / analyis. Good value.
My only disappointment is with the quoted weight on Chessbazaar's sets. Almost every set I have ever purchased is 10-15% BELOW the weight stated in the description. Come on Chessbazaar - be more realistic with the weights - don't say +/- 10% when it is almost always 10-15% lower. Weight is an important factor in the purchase decision for many buyers.Posted on
