HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2019
- In this video, we discover Bobby Fischer's eternal love for the reproduction of his favorite set of chess pieces: The Dubrovnik Chess Set.
First appeared in Dubrovnik, Croatia for the 9th Olympiad in 1950 assembling chess players from all around the world, the Dubrovnik Chess Set gained worldwide recognition for having a great feel to them amongst many other great characteristics about them.
Today, I unbox the remarkable reproduction of these ancient pieces by the chess wholesaler ChessBazaar with three different angles to optimize your viewership quality.
I hope you enjoy the video and please, give feedback or write a comment in the description. Oh, and I have a chess Instagram page in which I upload chess pictures and annotation/instruction daily called @thechessnerd

So far I am loving your unboxing videos. I literally watched the unboxing of your Compat Walnut set by Regencychess a couple of times already. Made me add that set to my amazon wishlist. Keep up the good work!
Andreu Cornico Wow! You have no idea what this mean to me!!! Glad you enjoy the videos and I hope you save up the money to fulfill your wishlist. Andreu, I wish you the best in life! Thanks for giving me that positivity 🔥
Surprised you don’t know Najdorf! He’s one of the all time greats, his variation of the Sicilian is one of the most common at top levels. You’re in for a treat if you look into his games, he’s got some really great ones. Also it’s pronounced nigh-dorf, nigh like high. Thanks for the video!
Алекса́ндр Але́хин I know Najdorf! And am a big fan of his chess. I think I just didn’t know how to pronounce his name (french versus english pronunciation conflict of interest)! I am currently analyzing the infamous 1953 Zürich International Chess Tournament of which Najdorf made a book on (but I own the Bronstein version, sadly). Najdorf had a couple of banger games in that tournament. Did you know he was rich? I learned that he was a businessman, a part from being a tremendous chess player.
@@tiagomoraes1510 really? interesting because I heard it had a lot of background context and fun stories about the players. Definitely is more rare!
Was also the board his favorite or just the pieces?
Just ordered these in red/white lacquered! Very excited - thanks for the unboxing/review!
Hey Miles! Glad I could help you with your purchase, Cheers :)
Hi i am thinking to buy the red an white lacquered dubrovnik from House of Staunton too. Please can you make a review video about your chess set ? I think many people will be very thankful to you.
Nice chess pieces man.
Are these the v1 version from chessbazaar?
Maybe I didn't hear on the video, are these the 4in ones?
Those will never tumble for sure 👍
Piezas de Ajedrez Yes they are! This was not a sponsored video so I didn’t want to give Chessbazaar free promo, but yes you are correct. Not the best quality ever, but for the price this is incredibly solid!
Pieces are great, but the real show stopper is that board! Where did you get it?
Алекса́ндр Але́хин Thanks! I got it in Münich, Germany at a store called Holz-Leute (they have an online store).
What's up chess nerd. Nice peices! I have some similar to the ones you have. You have another subscriber.
dynasty4851 Thanks for the compliments!!!! What is the name of pieces you have? Thanks for the sub! 🔥🙏
first off, 2 thumbs up on you video. next, fyi, the american player steiner that you don't know was international master herman steiner. he created the steiner chess set, aka the piatigorsky cup tournament set. this set is featured prominently in the book: the second piatigorsky cup. a reproduction of this chess set is also available and is worth collecting.
tonyscinemascope Wow the Piatigorsky chess set is very familiar to me... quite an odd design but hey, very antique looking! Thanks for showing appreciation for my video and yes, I will consider buying it 😏 we’ll see how the bank account is looking 😉
Nice chess set. Just a small correction to your video Bent Larsen was from Denmark.
Dennis Simpson I probably said Norway didn’t I? Thanks for spotting that mistake!!!
What i like the most with this set is the 5 cuts in its rook,,you seldom.see set with 5cuts on the rooks,most are 6 or 4 cuts
From Kuwait nice chess pieces
Today I get same because the bishop in this pieces wonderful and I like Bobby fischer
Yousef good choice! I love these pieces and I hope you do too
Where can I buy them? Can you provide the links for the board and pieces pls? THanks
Thats an amazzzing set,i have also mine from cb in ebonized and its very very nice set to play with,
Emmanuel Perante Nice!!! Which one?
Thanks for this
my pleasure 🔥
Hi! May I ask you where did you buy this amazing chess set?
Of course Julio :) ChessBazaar!
Sir where did you buy that elegant chess set?
Great video, very original
Benjamin Johnson thank you!!!
Good unboxing!!.. From Argentina!!..
Marcelo Silvero thank you so much Marcelo!!! ... from Canada!!!
@@thechessnerd Gracias Gracias!!.. Chess Dubrovnik is perfect!!.. Yo tengo uno también.. Saludos y.. Good Luck!!..
I really like this board!
its house of stuanton’s bird eye maple, great board but heavy!
Where can I get one
Nice pieces. I know Fischer thought highly of this set. Not exactly my taste. I prefer ebony wood for the black pieces. Very good choice on that board of yours though, good quality, and the right size for this set.
Thanks for your input, William! I personally love more brown pieces when it comes to wood (instead of ebony) just because it's easier for my audience to see the details of the pieces due to the lighter shade (and personal preference).
This is a link to my unboxing of Ebony American Staunton set of pieces, enjoy: ruclips.net/video/IZymyyFGils/видео.html
My grandma had this set, I destroyed it when I was a little kid 😂😢😂😢
Audio quality not up to par on this video. Needs redo.
I was carelessly listening to this video when, the voice of the person being interviewed caught my attention. I started listening and thought, what a dope...he probably sucks at chess. Lol! Whose the dope now.
😂😂😂 you got fooled
@@thechessnerd Yes I did!
All things in chessbazzar is sold out.Do they come back?
Hopefully! I hope for their sake but in theory yes you just have to give them time to restock
@@thechessnerd Ok👍😁😁
Solid pieces,
Emmanuel Perante one of my favorite so far!
You should had bought the House of Staunton's Dubrovnik replica
ronald. House of Staunton have a huge shipping cost when exporting to countries outside the US (in my case, Canada), it simply wouldn’t have been financially wise
@@thechessnerd Okay
Can you recommend a good chess board for Dubrovnik chess pieces?😀
Get a beautiful walnut / maple with a border! lol im selling one like this soon but yeah get something like that!
@@thechessnerd ohh thanks You replied really fast 👏👏🙏🙏
From Egypt with love.
Moreas Leon From Canada with even more ❤️
Hey. Awensome chess set. And very very Nice board. Saludos desde México.
Temachtiany Arriaga Thanks!!! Nice to meet you! I love my board too 😍 Where are you from in Mexico 🇲🇽 My hello’s from Canada 🇨🇦😀
@@thechessnerd Hey. Nice to meet you too. I'm from State of México, Next to City of México. 🇲🇽 You have a great coleccion of chess sets. Very Good. I have a French Lardy, but without wooden chess board.
Temachtiany Arriaga I love the French Lardy pieces! So simple yet so elegant. I also love Mexico City... do you often go into the city? Are you planning on finding/buying a wooden chess board? If so, I could help you make a good-for-the-money purchase 😊🙌
Temachtiany Arriaga Oh and hey! Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already! It would mean a lot to me and help my channel grow 😊
Yes, I do. Much thanks. I subscribed.
When are people going to learn that "unboxing" means the very first time you are taking it out of the box, not the the third take.
Warblerab 295 different angles but all in one take (editing to cut the video from 30 minutes to 17).
Great videos dude
Thank you my guy!!!
@@thechessnerd im the puzzle guy from Instagram 😅❤️. Seriously good job , you've done great work here and on your Instagram page. Can't wait for the new chessboards unboxing as well as the David Navara book
@@IsaacNewton1687 Now that’s a real one! Thank you :) the unboxing is coming tomorrow! Sorry for responding to your comment 4 months late, I didn’t see it and feel so bad!
@@thechessnerd relax my dude. You actually responded super fast at more important comments on Instagram ❤️
@@IsaacNewton1687 much love my guy, thanks for contributing so much to my chess page, I really appreciate the loyal support ❤️
I want one.
hahah frl
Where did you find that set?
Thanks! I got the pieces from ChessBazaar :)
@@thechessnerd I just checked. The set is on back order 😕
@@Sophie_kent It’ll come back soon!
btw, what is the point of worrying about the religious symbolism of the mitre on the bishop? It is still going to be a called bishop!
Warblerab 295 It not worrying its about focusing on the uniqueness of the bishop
No 'religious' symbols on the chess set? Have you ever seen the top of Islamic Mosques? Oh, you mean none of that Christian religious stuff.
crossnote What’s up buddy! Welcome to the channel ❤️ I think you need to chill but that’s just me 🤷♂️ No religious symbols meaning (exactly!) no Christian symbols as that is the theme of about 80% of the wooden chess pieces I have come across... Although, admittedly to your point, Islam saw chess before Europeans (Christians), these chess pieces were designed for the 1949 Chess Olympiad by P. Poček in Yougoslavia. Now, both the Republic of Croatia and The designer were Orthodox so by saying no religious symbols I’m questioning the unlikeliness that this set of piecws doesn’t have religious symbols. Now for your Islamic argument... tops of islamic mosques (in general) are round with a speared top which i dont see here (tops of the pieces are oval-ish and not ‘spiked’)... Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts and theories
Is chessbazzar a scam?The website looks like a scam
It isn’t but the pieces aren’t weighted that’s how its so cheap for them even though the wood is wood and the craftsmanship is great
@@thechessnerd oh Ok.How long does it take till the chess pieces get delivered to me?
@@its_jeyx100 depends where you live, sometimes two weeks
Bobby Fisher died a Roman Catholic.
Jack Neals Yes! I learned this afterwards, he was buried in front of a Church in Reykjavik, Iceland 🇮🇸.
I am the best player at my school
Way to go!!!
Next level: parents must be defeated
Next level after that: Best of the chess club
KEEP GOING!!!!
@@thechessnerd I am already better than my parents, and I am already beaten every one in my chess club and I have beaten all of my coaches I have even won a few tournaments my district has put on, it's insane how good I have become in the past couple of years
Tax Olson Vlogs Great!!! How old are you? Is state championship achievable? What’s your rating?
@@thechessnerd I am only 17
im the best player in my family
Haha. Two reasons. I like how he said “you heard it here first...” decades after everyone else heard Fischer say it. Then, pretends no religious symbols are on the Dubrovnik while calling it a “bishop.” Ahh, someone needs a serious history lesson. Today’s youth...what a shame.
Thanks for the snippy comment, I said “you heard it here first folks” in a light, jokingly innocent way, the fact that you take remark to that is absolutely absurd, I’m sorry. Second, bishop is the name of the piece... what do you want me to call it, an elephant? Because that piece in western chess expired many hundreds of years ago. Thanks for watching though, even though you are “old” as you self proclaimed to be, I still have love for you. It’s just odd you’re giving a care about some 19 years olds video is all, use constructive criticism! It’s much more respectful and helpful feedback wise. Have a good day :)
@@thechessnerd i found out that these were Fischer's favourite pawns here though. So yes you said it in a jokingly way , but it doesn't mean that all of us knew Fischer's favourite pawns or ever cared to find out ourselves . It's not his favourite pawns but his (favourite) games that count. So yeah the response from @Doc Lee is completely absurd indeed..
@@IsaacNewton1687 thanks for the backup my guy :)
Atheist and demons must love this chess set, can’t stand to see the cross.I’ll pass ,ill look for one with a big cross,but do what you want to do.
Yeah i don’t mind personally but it’s something different
Lets call it the atheist chess set,for people or demons that don’t like to see the cross,no thank you I’ll pass.
