Description

Chess Bazaar 1950 Dubrovnik Bobby Fischer Chess Set

This design follows one of the most recognised sets in chess history, first made for the 1950 Olympiad and later seen in Bobby Fischer’s games.

The V3.0 version follows the classic look but adds tighter carving and clearer detail based on years of feedback from players and collectors.

Its dark pieces are carved from burnt boxwood and the light pieces are made from natural boxwood, making the chess pieces beautifully contrast with the other.

And the black dyed poplar/white erable board brings solid strength and craftsmanship that holds up well through regular use.

This upgraded version keeps the spirit of the old design while giving you a more refined build.

Premium 55cm Chess Bazaar chess board

The included chessboard is made with black dyed poplar and white erable, giving you a solid and beautiful space to play.

At 55cm, there's plenty of room to think about each move and execute even when the game gets intense.

The board is carefully carved to stay level and keep its contrast sharp for years.

If you appreciate classic design and great craftsmanship, you won't find a better chessboard.

Classic Dubrovnik-style chess pieces

The burnt boxwood gives the dark pieces a warm tone that shows its detail clearly while the natural boxwood gives the light pieces a warmer contrast.

Both hardwoods hold their shape well so you won’t need to worry about the pieces getting dents or deep scratches.

And the buff polish keeps each piece comfortable to hold and quick to place.

Together, this combination of wood and design creates the same feel that made the old Dubrovnik design so well-liked by chess fans.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this version different from the older Dubrovnik reproductions?

This V3.0 release has cleaner carving, better detail and double weighted pieces. It stays close to the historic shapes while giving you a steadier feel during real games.

Are the pieces close to the original 1950 Olympiad design?

Yes. The curves, capped bishops and wide bases follow the early work that made the set famous. It keeps the look that collectors chase.

Is the weighting strong enough for fast or regular play?

Each piece is double weighted, so they sit firm and stay stable when the board gets busy.

Does the wood finish hold up over long use?

The burnt boxwood and natural boxwood take polish well. The finish stays smooth and keeps its feel after many games.

How well do the pieces match the board size?

The 55 mm squares suit the 94mm king and the wider bases. The spacing looks clean and stays easy on the eyes.

Is the board material durable for long term use?

Black dyed poplar and white erable keep shape well. The surface stays even and the contrast stays sharp over time.

Is this set a good choice for collectors?

Yes. Original sets were made in very small numbers, so this faithful reproduction gives you the design without rare-piece pricing.

Do the pieces come with felt for smoother movement?

Each piece has a thick green felt that keeps every move quiet and steady on the board.

Is this set good for display as well as play?

The clean lines, classic shapes and warm wood tones make it easy to display, but the weighting also makes it ready for regular games.

How accurate is the carving on the knights?

The knights follow the simpler Maurović style seen in Fischer’s games. The detail is clear without looking overdone, which stays true to the design’s history.
