Original Dubrovnik 1950 chess set used in Fischer x Spassky 1992 Match - I

The original Dubrovnik 1950 chess set in the Central Square of Dubrovnnik, 64 years after the 1950 Chess Olympiad held in Dubrovnik!
Hope this will be the beginning a tradition and this set will come to Dubrovnnik every 64 years!

Dubrovinks have the best grip especially the flatter knights and the cross-less king...it will look odd at first but it will quickly grow on anybody who owns it ( wood or plastic)...beautiful set

Indeed Reuven. Thanks! I hope to take very well care of this set and then pass it to a Chess Museum in the World. We, as human beings are transient creatures, we in reality do not possess anything.

1950, First Olympiad after the chaos of WWII and this was the chosen design, Dubrovnik. 16 nations doing battle in bloodless war, in an atmosphere of "we gather here to celebrate chess." Afterwhich tons of Intl tournaments were played in Europe with the new pieces. So in a way, these marked the modern age of top level competition. I like to believe the set, of Religious-less design, is also a symbolism of the defeat of Nazism. And chess is a universal game, so why should the men have religious marks? Perhaps they shouldn't. Alas... the Dubrovnik was born. And I feel it is "consistent" that 10 years later, in the film Schachnovelle (in German!) which used an Olympiad Dubrovnik and it has scenes of Nazism. So the film director perhaps felt the same way as I.

[@IzmetFekali]

Can you please count the cuts on the queens crowns? Is it the same on both white and black queens?
Congratulations on a very famous chess set!

[@kinguio2567]

Jonas Žnidaršič Each queen, the white and the black one have 12 cuts. Thanks!

Very nice chess set! Does anyone know what wood the pieces and the board are?

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

Hi. It is believed that for the men: Maple. Natural and stained brown.The board, I'm in the dark. Maple & Walnut. Perhaps Maple & Chestnut. I don't think the dark squares on the board were colored. It's natural dark wood.
