    Chess in it’s most dramatic effect, well done. I have this set named Alexandria Luxury Staunton from RoyalChessMall, one of 2 of my first African Padauk sets, one of 9 now. How’s the white oxidation dust problem affecting your Padauk pieces? I see some in the creases. I just received the Shera Series Staunton from ChessBazaar in a lacquer finish to avoid the dust problem.

    This is so beautifully photographed and edited, very professional. The camera work is excellent. I, for one, can appreciate some latitude with the design of all the pieces. I think they're gorgeous.
    I ordered a very similar set, in padauk and boxwood from the chessstore that I anxiously await the arrival. They're not as pricey as some might think, listed for $700, but do look for discounts in the usual places. I saved quite a bit. These are so elegant I'll have to display them, as well as enjoy some games.

      @@silvermyth2119 Hello. Did you received your set? What´s your opinion with the pieces in your hands? I like these pieces too, so I ´m thinking about buying a set. Where did you buy it and how much is it? Thanks.

    • @silvermyth2119
      @silvermyth2119 5 лет назад

      adsoargento yes I rcvd it and it's an amazing set. I got it from India (Chessbazaar.com) it's listed there as the Indian-American luxury set. I got it on sale for approx. $295. They ship via FedEx & DHL so it arrives less than a week. Also you can get the set lacquered for a reasonable price which I would recommend. The hand buffed Paduk-Rosewood pieces will oxidize requiring frequent hand buffing which is a bit of a pain. Lacquer seals the pieces so they stay shiny and prevents oxidation. The pieces are nice and heavy and just feel great when you move them.

    I can see tiny white spots in some of the Red figures, and it's not the first one I have checked that problem. Is it usual in the padauk wood over time? I purchased a similar set (Imperial) but in gold palisander, and after a couple of years of intense use, still looks perfect

    @conjured_up_skeletons6178 6 лет назад

    What Monstrousity on earth is this??? The knights are having a bad hair day, they look like me after I wake up from a weekend in Vegas, or Tijuana.. The king's head is too bulbous and finial (cross) is way oversized & ornamental, the bishop's deep cut looks like he's trying too hard to stand out from the crowd (a poor artist's choice in my opinion. A medium sized, more diagonal cut would've done it. Sometimes less is more.) The rest of the pieces look proper. Dark pieces look amazing in that wood type. I don't like black squares in a board but in this case in contrasts well with the rich dark red. Actually, I'm sure I'd get comfortable with the set once I played a few games with it. And perhaps I would even become fond of it. So congratulations, I envy you.
