    Description

    For your consideration is a gorgeous  Soviet Russian Tournament Chess Set Reproduction similar to sets used by World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik and Salo Flohr during the 1930's.  Its been called the Botvinnik-Flohr  II Chessmen.  Kings measure 4" in height with a diameter base just over 1 1/2".  Pawns are approx. 2 1/8" in height.  The 32 piece lacquered set is in new and unused condition and has been stored away for a few years until taking pictures for this listing.  Piece bottoms are covered in green felt. The set comes with a green/white wrinkle-free roll-up mousepad board with 2 1/4" squares.  There is no box.  The pieces are lightly weighted but wide bases affords good stability.   A gorgeous and fabulous historical set for tournament,  blitz or home play and a great addition to one's collection. The pieces were hard to photograph and look much better in person.  I have supplied many pictures of this gorgeous set for your perusal.   for USPS Priority Mail shipping. EACH PIECE WILL BE INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED FOR ADDED PROTECTION DURING SHIPPING. Note: No International shipping.  Smoke and pet free home. Thanks for looking.
