Knight takes 11 hours for this dude to make, and 8 seconds for me to blunder.
Noob, it only takes me 3
You noobs, it takes me 1 second to blunder
@@vedran3775 teach me your ways
Noob, I premove blunders cause I play online
And here I am the noobest one trying to know what is blunder.
That detailed Knight is much better than the Knight's they use in the championship.
The other pieces are also more detailed if you look close at them.
sometimes less is more. Simple is the best
But damn look at the more intricate details for me its better
Not really, cuz you don't want a super detailed piece when their thoughts are so abstract. You want to allow players to focus on the game not the pieces.
True !!
I love how they dramatized the rpm of the bandsaw as if it was an absurd uncommon super specialized tool lol
that made me smile too : D
"spinning at a dizzying 2,400 RPM"
Yes 2400 RPM😂😂
And also the 1,400 rpm
per MINUTE as well!
2400 and 1400 are 40 and 23 times per second.
Agreed, but handsaws and lathes and stuff are pretty rare in india
I must admit I have never really cared much for chess, but it is such a pleasure and honor to see these great craftsmen work!

I wish they could've given us the address of the business or the website to purchase their chess pieces
@@bugsycline3798, thank you!
@Mr H compared to other sets of the same quality, that's pretty good!
@Sunrise Boy I believe you get an additional 30% off when you order something on backorder. You should jump on it then and not wait til it’s restocked.

Make sure you two stick together.

*"Trishul"* on the King... I liked that ❤️🔱
That was one of the most beautiful chess sets I've seen

"Documentary film crew is coming next week. You think we should clean up?" "No".
I've been to India. That was cleaned up.
@Ghost K That gives the pieces a special touch
You want to watch a documentary that is not set in the true environment?
Anuj Gupta No, that just would've been my thought if I were the factory owner and I knew a film crew was coming through. But hey, gotta make some chess pieces. Film crews and messes be damned.
@@lordrudolph1037 no it was not liar.
Such a heart warming video. People working all day to make 1 chess piece that is sold for less than $1. It'd be great if Discovery UK could show more sweat shops with laborers who work for pennies a day to make things I take for granted.
Was looking for a "Kingfisher beer comment" from my fellow Indians at 2:16 , didn't find any. So here is mine. Cheers!
came here for this
Haha, good catch.
That factory looks like something out of the Victorian England
England used to own India back then. The whole country was a private company at one point until they caused massive civil unrest and were taken over by the crown.
Conditions were slightly better in Victorian England - comparing with pictures of textile mill workers in Manchester and iron workers in Birmingham foundries.
The set is crazy detailed, really cool.
Just received my first hand-made wooden set from India a few days ago! Tis gorgeous and well worth the $400 tag ;)
Where could I buy a set with that Majestic Knight?! That is the most AMAZING KNIGHT I HAVE EVER SEEN!

@@harveybenatt786 overpriced
Here you can at only dollar 41

@@mujahidulislam650 That shop is a pile of shit.
Any high priced set will have a decent knight piece. It’s the hallmark of any chess set.
The Soviets could produce more t-34 than handmade horses.
Yeah but they’re terrible looking low detail ones that look like you bought at the dollar store.
@@KandiKlover yes but the t-34 sent the Germans back to Berlin.
@@randompeople7595 Stop making sense!
@@randompeople7595 through how much sacrifice . It wasn't what the russian people wanted but what the communist party wanted . When the german army first entered the Ukraine, they were greeted as liberators because of the mass famine created by Stalin that caused the deaths of millions plus mass executions which the Ukrainians remember to this day .
@@doughoward6401 Those who greeted nazis as liberators, did massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia - 100 000 dead, Lwów Ghetto - 120,000 Polish Jews, Babi Yar - 150,000 people killed, the list is countless, they killed millions. Are you a nazi, Howard?
Ghoda is a respectable animal !
Meanwhile in Japan: it took me 10 years to master the art of How to pick a Wood.
Copied comment, you just modified 5 Years to 10 years lol
@@sharkk6820 yes I saw that too
Copied comment..!!
Why you steal this comment dude
Well done copying
Their knight piece is a ‘masterpiece ‘.👏
No one's talking about the epic failed shot at 0:20? They moved a piece wrong 🤣
That is the famous King's sacrifice
Could be the end of the match. Indeed often, the kings are places facing each other in the center
@@cesaresperelli2817 lol
Inspired by Vidit
They learned this move from Vidit
I love watching this, chess is nostalgic for me.
Walkthrough a sweat shop
Don't you play anymore? Or why is it nostalgic
Those good old days of 16's
How do you do that?
@@cytoin more like 600 AD
0:20 dude put himself in check with an illegal move.
Yea
Seeing this really got on my nerves with how pretty the pieces were.
The knight at 4:37 where could I buy that one?! I have to find that set. That is such skilled craftsmanship... Absolutely astonishing!
www.thechessempire.com
@rigoagui no the link is correct, you need to search for THE ALEXANDER STALLION SERIES CHESS PIECES
BOXWOOD & EBONY set which is $600
@rigoagui yes you are right when looked at it again, the bottom curves different, but overall i think it is same quality, maybe light in the video makes it look nicer. still both great set.
u can try look up chessbazar.com
actualy its chessbazaar.com
The knights takes 11 hours to make.
The knights take years of practice to perfect.
GM's : exchanging knights on the 5th move.
Craftsman : 😒😒😒
Awesome video! I would gladly, buy such a chess set from india!!!
That place looks like a death trap, how hard is it to sweep the floor and manage all the wood shaving. One cigarette and that thing goes up in flames.
I have often wished I had the skill and shop to learn this. I would make pieces all day even if few bought them.
If you made it like this- people would buy for sure.. I think people would pay up to $300 for these pieces.
Cheers to all you workers that do these chess pieces.
Such a beautiful set, i'd love to own one someday.
Those are beautiful sets! I would love to own a set with the four legged table.
That might be the prettiest chess set i ever seen. I tried tio look up nice sets but they're often too fancy,too "busy"
These are classic and simple, but beautifully detailed and have great finishes,perfectly shiny.
Amazing. Incredible. Super. What else? Those are beautiful works
I like this chess set, especially the highly detailed knight piece. Is there any possibility to buy their products in US?

Don't fall for the links
65 people work for OSHA
One thing is for sure, thank link is not it lol

What's striking is that despite the poor working condition of the workers they produce such fine pieces. Ever wondered why Indian product quality is questionable, well here you go. The dilapidated sheds, poor work environment, and those ancient tools.
Indian product quality is not questionable because of the people working in it. It is because they try to cut corners on cheap products.
@@archaicnymph2977 if you look at the review at their website, people are talking about how they love the product and considering they bought it at 100-200usd price range average, it piques my curiosity of their workers pays
@@oraoraoraoraora6959 It's definitely a case of the company owner driving around in a fancy car and living in a big air conditioned house while his workers live in slum conditions. That'll never change.
@@BlackOrchardbooks as an Indian i can confirm your point of view ...... The money never reaches these workers as they deserve......
The workers are very skillful
I wonder how much will they get paid in a developed country as usa , uk , or sweden
@@oraoraoraoraora6959 Jaque!!
Beautiful. These people are artists.
When There Is no Respected Machine Our Workers are really Working Hard to Make Luxurious Chess Pieces! Hats Off!
"knights totally hand made no machines" shows carving with a machine in next clip🤣
Where bro?
The worker is manipulating the burr by hand, so it is still hand-made.
Thank you very much for uploading this.
And now, with those beautiful pieces:
1.e4 e5
2.Ke2!
yes, the scariest opening of all. (through money, through money, through money)
Ha, didn't expect that to be referenced.
Wow amazing work. Well done India. The staff are really great
Absolutely amazing....beautiful!!!!!
There’s nothing like a good game of Chess I just treated myself to a Staunton set with a work bonus & it’s beyond luxury to play it it’s a beauty!
I have a set ... they are simply beautiful!
I own one of their collection purchased from Amazon. One of the best chess set I had.
What a lovely video for a saturday afternoon, thank you very much!
trabalho de altissimo nivel !! Incrivel
That Knight looks so freakin cool!!
I would love to play w that piece!!
I would absolutely love a set like that Staunton-style one at the start.
Those knights are absolutely gorgeous.
I'd never be able to afford one though.
It's a few hundred dollars for a set like that....
So satisfying and very interesting
It's such a fancy and beautiful set, yet the place they are made couldn't be more modest.
I feel bad for these true artists.
Everything is made in sweatshop these day.
There’s much simple chess knights they could make but that one looks sick, they make them so well
So. Many. Wood pieces. I’m drooling. So beautiful.
Looks like fire hazard place
Every wood work factory would be
Amazing working conditions, please support this company. They think about the workers, masks and aspiration for the dust, every protective measure is taken. Bravo.
0:20 Hikaru Nakamura: *arches eyebrows*
So interesting and very satisfying
Fell in love😍❤️🙏
great video! it was suggested to me while watching al su chess! I love chess videos!
Would have been nice if someone produced the link to buy the set
That's actually impressive!
I wonder if they are made by hand?
Such skillful work
Would have been even more interesting to compare their pay to ours, clearly unfair I'm sure
Bless them for doing real artisan craftmanship noble work.
Title:"How are hand-made chess pieces made?"
Well,By HaNd ObViOUsLy,DUH!!
XD
I have a beautiful set of tournament size Staunton chess pieces I bought years ago. I know they were made in India. It would be cool if this is where they were made. ;o)
Awesome thank you so much!
Any link to see or buy?
The king with trishool at the top was 🔥
Chess was invented in India 5000 year ago and first written account was in 6th century AD during Gupta empire. Every village in India people play Charuranga ( Chess) from ancient days: Slowly Chess is gaining huge traction in its country of Origin 🇮🇳
wow, that was insanely good!
Knights in the process making are the difficult ones while I usually love to dispatched them early of the game.
what a beautiful set
Knights are truly special... They take long to craft and they are the only pieces that are allowed to jump other pieces
nice, carving the knight kinda looks fun but would probably get tired making it 24/7
4:30 Look at this magnificent knight!!
Jizz XD
I wonder what chess grandmasters would feel, watching this.
You’re using a phone or computer made in worse conditions with suicide nets. Shut up.
@@KandiKlover Take your own advice, rude girl.
Elegant, mate!~ x
Where can I buy this chess set?
For a game with such increasing popularity, quite a scarcity of good chess sets.
Note . band saws run at feet per minute , not RPM .
Well, it does spin, so you can express it in RPM.
The band rotates, so you can say rpm. You obviously never did any woodworking
@@redresistor1330 Wood working some, metal working a lot. plastic working, a lot .
@@redresistor1330 - That would a meaningless figure, though, since the length of a band can vary greatly.
Que hermosas figuras!
This is one of the chess iam looking for.❤
Beautiful
What a beautiful knight and King are those.
I liked the knight design👍👍👍
The title "An example for poor working conditions" works well with this video too
5:15 - the pieces heaped on the ground. Half finished pieces strewn about in heaped the ground. Tells you something about the respect they have for their craft and craftsmanship.
My mechanical engineering mind: its not turning machine its lathe machine
Those wood shavings are a hell of a fire hazzard. It wouldn't take much to get those going and with all the air between the shavings it would flash up frighteningly fast.
I hear you. There's so many hazards in this video it's crazy.
I would sell my soul for one of those knights
The design of the pieces are very nice...
I prefer those more simplistic knights
Is there any online store or somewhere where I can purchase one of these fine chess pieces?
Putting your hands in all that wood shavings must feels so satisfying.
Now I want to buy a chess set like that.
That's a beautiful set, gasp
D.M.
It is so incredibly basis including safety precautions
very nice video :)
where can i buy a set from these guys?
