History of the Chess Pieces
The 1960 Fischer-Dubrovnik Chessmen.
It is well known that Bobby Fischer ranked the 1950 and the later 1960 Dubrovnik set, designed by Andrija Maurović, Chessmen as the best set of chess pieces for serious play and analysis. He often heaped lavish praise upon them. However, exactly which Dubrovnik pieces was Fischer referencing? Well, there were actually (at least) two versions. However, the actual 1960 Dubrovnik set often pictured with Bobby and preferred by him, has not heretofore been reproduced. Now, The House of Staunton has changed all that. Using pieces from an actual 1960s set, a precise recreation of Fischer’s favorite set has been made - the new House of Staunton Fischer-Dubrovnik Chessmen. The King stands 3-5/8“tall with a 1-1/2” diameter base. Each of the pieces rests atop green baize base pads. One design feature of these Dubrovnik Staunton chessmen is the lack of Religious adornments. The Christian Formeé cross has been replaced with a simple ball finial and the traditional Bishop’s miter has been eliminated. The only accommodation made to current praxis is the addition of ballast to the pieces for increased stability. The originals were unweighted. A comparison of The House of Staunton recreation with the Original 1960 Dubrovnik is shown here.
