1959 Russian Zagreb Staunton Chess Pieces

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share my thoughts on the 1959 Russian Zagreb Staunton Chess Pieces. Made from ebonized and natural boxwood, these pieces are not only beautiful but also durable. The 3.8-inch king feels great in hand, and the Staunton design is a classic choice for serious players.

What excites me most is their historical significance from the famous 1959 Candidates Tournament. Playing with these pieces makes each game feel special and connects you to chess legends.

Has anyone here used this set? I'd love to hear your thoughts on its design and playability!
