Staunton Castle feels proud to introduce the World’s most famous Chess Set named The Fischer Dubrovnik 1970. This is Reproduction chess set and our Company reproduced this chess set which had been used in 9th Chess Olympiad in the year 1970. The same chess set was used in the tournament which had been organized in the year 1970 Chess Olympiad. Below after the description and the history of this chess set we have attached the original image of this chess set. We have given the name to this chess set the upgraded version because we have done some improvisations this chess set like our chess pieces are weighted but the original pieces were without weight. Nowadays the weighted chess pieces are the most preferable among chess collectors and the players. The black army is made in vintage mahogany-stained Box wood. The white army is made in the Natural box wood.
History of the Dubrovnik Chess Set: The 9th Chess Olympiad was organized by the FIDE and the government of Yugoslavia, supported by Josip Broz Tito.[2] The Olympiad was held in Dubrovnik, SR Croatia, Yugoslavia (now in Croatia) between August 20 and September 11, 1950.[1] Chess is a significant part of the culture in Dubrovnik being first documented in 1422.[2] The Olympiad had 84 chess players representing 16 nations who played a total of 480 games.[1] The Yugoslav team won the gold medal, Argentina silver and West Germany bronze.[1] In 1949 the Olympiad management requisitioned a new style of chessmen. Painter and sculptor P. Poček was contracted to design the Olympiad chessmen.[3] The pieces were made in an unknown workshop in Subotica, Yugoslavia. The 1950 Dubrovnik chess set was designed without religious symbols. The pieces were sensibly designed for play with wide bases requiring a minimum of 55 millimetre chessboard squares. They had green felted sliders and were not weighted.[3] The chess box was felted with a metallic badge on the inside of the box with the inscription "IX. šah olimpijada Dubrovnik, Jugoslavija."[3] The box was unusually large, featuring 60 mm squares. Approximately 50 chess sets were made with original sets being very rare if not impossible to locate or buy.[3] In a radio interview Bobby Fischer stated: "This [1950 Dubrovnik chess set] is the best set I have ever played on. It is marvellous."[4] Fischer owned a 1950 Dubrovnik chess set that he kept in a safe, which was subsequently sold by a storage company to pay for an outstanding storage bill.[5][6] A chess collector provided a chess set after Fischer requested it for the 1992 Fischer–Spassky rematch held at Sveti Stefan.[3][7][8]
Variants[edit]The Dubrovnik design has influenced the creation of several chess set variants with a variety of names, including but not limited to, Zagreb and Yugoslavia.[3] These variant chess sets often have opposite coloured finials on the kings and queens, while the original Dubrovnik had opposite coloured finials for the bishops. In addition, the chess sets use different specifications from the Dubrovnik. In the 1960s a redesigned version by Andrija Maurović, a famous Croat cartoonist, writer and chess player was created and produced in the workshop of master craftsman Jakopović in Zagreb. Bobby Fischer was often filmed and photographed with his own 1970 Dubrovnik chess set that was later stolen. The most obvious changes in design can be observed in the knights with simplified carving, and the queens had only five cuts in the crown as opposed to the original eleven. |
