Bobby Fischer's Favorite – Dubrovnik Style Chess Pieces
Do you want to own the same chess set that was one of Bobby Fischer's personal treasures? The Dubrovnik-style chess pieces are not just a chess set; they are a part of chess history and among the most iconic game pieces of all time.
Crafted from Acacia and Boxwood: These pieces are meticulously finished and made from high-quality materials. Weighted Chess Pieces: Each piece is balanced for smooth and precise play. Bobby Fischer's Favorite: This set was Fischer's personal choice, used in his legendary 1992 rematch against Boris Spassky. Includes Two Extra Queens: A valuable addition for those critical moments when a pawn is promoted to a queen.
Original Dubrovnik Design from 1950
The Dubrovnik-style chess pieces were first introduced in 1950, when Yugoslav artist and sculptor Pocek designed them for the ninth Chess Olympiad in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The goal was to create a stable, playable, and easy-to-handle set of chess pieces. Pocek not only met this goal but exceeded all expectations.
Timeless Elegance and Unique History
The enduring popularity of the Dubrovnik pieces can be attributed to their sleek yet functional design. One major factor in their lasting appeal is Bobby Fischer's fondness for this set. Fischer, who famously defeated Soviet player Boris Spassky in the 1972 World Chess Championship, cherished his Dubrovnik set and requested it be used for the 1992 rematch against Spassky.
Iconic Design That Stands the Test of Time
The Dubrovnik chess set is not only beautiful but also practical, making it perfect for serious chess battles. Each piece is carefully designed to withstand intense play and provide an exceptional chess experience for generations.
Own a Piece of Chess History
This iconic chess set is more than just a tool; it is a tribute to chess and the great masters who have shaped its history. The Dubrovnik chess set is a must-have for any chess player’s collection—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned master.
