Chess Pieces DUBROVNIK BLACK

Dubrovnik Chess Pieces BLACK – Bobby Fischer's Legend in Ebonized Boxwood

When you want chess pieces that carry the weight of chess history, Dubrovnik Black is a choice that honors tradition. These pieces were Bobby Fischer's favorites – a man who never settled for mediocrity chose exactly these.

• Hand-carved from boxwood: Light pieces naturally warm, dark pieces ebonized to deep black
• Weighted with iron: Weight and balance refined to perfection
• Ebonized dark pieces: Deep black reminiscent of ebony
• Two extra queens: Promotions don't interrupt the game

Born for the 1950 Olympiad

Dubrovnik pieces were designed for the 1950 Chess Olympiad in Yugoslavia. Designer Pocek wanted to create pieces that weren't just beautiful but optimal for play. Over 70 years later they're still a classic – which says something about the design's durability.

Fischer's treasure set

Bobby Fischer owned a Dubrovnik set and kept it as his treasure. When he played Spassky in the 1992 rematch, Fischer demanded that Dubrovnik pieces be used. Nothing else. When the world's most demanding player chooses these pieces, it's not by chance. Fischer knew what he wanted – and this was it.

Carved to endure history

Boxwood ages with dignity. Ebonizing provides darkness that doesn't fade. Iron weights keep pieces stable for decades. These aren't collectibles that stand in a cabinet – they're made to be played, generation after generation.
