Relive chess history with the Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Set, a masterpiece from the 1950s. Discover why Bobby Fischer called this set his favorite.

The 1950s Fischer Dubrovnik Chess Set is a highly regarded and sought-after chess set that was designed and manufactured in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia (now Croatia). This set gained fame largely due to its use by the legendary chess player Bobby Fischer, who praised its design and functionality. While getting an original Jakopovic's set is almost impossible, we have brought to life a precise reproduction of the original Dubrovnik with increased ballast at the base. The Dubrovnik with its fat, chunky bases and a solid well proportioned design is a crown jewel for any chess player or collector.

Whether you're a chess enthusiast or a collector, this video will provide a deep appreciation for this iconic chess set. Don't forget to like, comment, and share it with fellow chess enthusiasts and collectors!

Andrew: Let go of Juniper, Lance. It's me that you want! Lancelot: And why would I do that, dear brother? After all, this lil' martian whelp is someone that you love and care about and you should know by now that love & compassion is but a weakness!* Once I've rid of her and gain the scepter for myself, then I will bury this accursed realm under my feet, along with you and everyone in it! That way, you will experience first hand what it is to lose something that you've loved dearly. You will suffer just as I have suffered when you have stolen Hailey Ranna from me. Thus, staining my very honor as you once did before! Andrew: So, it would seem...

“It doesn’t matter which direction we go, we just keep ending up back here.” Felix screeches, hopping down off his horse to look around the small clearing in the forest that they keep finding themselves in, “It’s like we’re trapped in a maze or something. I’m not even recognizing landmarks or anything, but we’re always led back here.”

“We just have to keep trying. It’s obvious something or someone doesn’t want us getting out, but if we keep trying something will have to give eventually.” Chan insists, looking around for any sign that something is different now, that a certain direction will lead them out.

Fog suddenly whips around the edge of the clearing, carrying laughter with it.

“Such silly boys thinking you can outlast me at this. I’m not the one who needs to eat to live.” The voice floats around with the fog until it’s swirling before them into the form of a woman, “However, I might be persuaded to let you go...for a price.”

“And what price is it that we will have to pay?” Chan boldly asks, blade firmly in hand as if it would help him in any way fight a woman of mist should things come down to a battle.

“Oh, that’s just it. You two appear to have nothing to offer me, so unless you can come up with something appealing out of nowhere it is of no use. Though I do enjoy toying with you before ending the suffering, cures my boredom so much longer than just killing you outright.” She laughs as she circles the pair, small wisps of fog trailing behind her as she does.

“Well, how can we know what will appeal to you without knowing what it is you desire?” Felix speaks softly, peaking around Chan to catch sight of her circling figure now.

“Silly boys, I desire what we all do... freedom. Yet that very desire is what landed me here in the first place. I desired freedom from illness, from death, and for that, I paid the price and am damned here for eternity unable to touch anything at all. Do you know what it feels like to go centuries cold and untouched? I would rather die and be trapped like this any longer!” She screeches, before snickering and shaking her head, “And yet that’s not the worst of it. Do you want to know what is? That damn witch that made me like this gets her life with no threat of disease or aging and she was born in such a way. Yet she goes about getting off on giving others the same just to take everything else from them.” 

“Tell me, what is the witch’s name and where can she be found? Perhaps we can bargain with her on your behalf or at least avenge you?” Chan offers in all reasonableness, working towards the hastiest of logical choices. 

“Her name, by birth or not I do not know, but they call her Electra or they did last that I was among this wide world. She is originally from here when this place was called Ebonywood and was more than just a haunted place of the dark magics. That is why she was able to bind me here, it is where she is most attached.” She pauses her movements as she thinks through the details of her answer, before moving once again.

“We can swear to find her and-” Chan begins, only to be cut off before he can begin to make such oaths with the woman of fog by Felix who speaks up now.

“Did you say Ebonywood?” He begins to dig through Chan’s belongings in search of something, finding the map and showing the woman of fog, “This same Ebonywood here?” 

The woman comes to a full stop now, looking over the map before she looks up at Felix, eyes ablaze even further, “Where did you get this from? And don’t you dare lie to me, boy.”

“When my princess was taken to the dark prince’s castle, I searched for a map to help us find our way out and this is what I found. At the time I didn’t even know it had another name as we are not from here, we’re from afar and are only here by Hyunjin’s hand.” Chan explains, confused as the woman curses under her breath.

“Hyunjin. Damn it, HYUNJIN!” The woman screams the wind echoing the sound and causing Felix to flinch away now, “I thought I taught the boy better than to meddle into such affairs, especially with the likes of her! Where is your princess now?” 

“He’s taken her back. She ordered us to take this map far away from here before all else, but we must go to her. I can’t let anything happen to her... We can’t let anything happen to her.” Chan insists and she hums, motioning him closer as well.

“You boys want your freedom? Very well, I shall tell you the price for it. This map is not Hyunjin's, it is Electra’s. That witch who cursed me. It holds a power as much of her belongings do. She always was good at cursing others.” She begins to explain, “Hyunjin is the closest thing I have to a family. That boy was the only one who came here frequently, and I couldn’t find it in me to harm such a small distraught child. I thought I taught him to be smarter than to go and get tangled into things, but it appears he had gone to seek power. Electra’s power. And in turn, avenge me... alone. Whether anyone knows and is assisting him I am certainly not aware, but I am aware that the boy has absolutely no idea what he is getting himself into. So as for your price. You will help him. I shall bind one of you to him, should he die you will as well... however, if she dies you will be free. You shall not leave empty-handed though, I shall give you all the information I have on this map and her whereabouts as I guide you out. So do we have a deal?”

“Yes, you have my word that I’ll keep him sa-” Chan gets cut off by Felix yet again.

“Bind me to him! Do it now and don’t listen to anything he says!” Felix insists quickly, moving to stand between Chan and the woman. Causing her to hum and take action to do so. 

Chan whips Felix back around in shock, “Why on earth would you do that? You aren’t a knight, do you even know how to protect someone against this level of danger?”

“Your focus is on protecting the princess, you can’t focus on keeping two people safe at once. So leave Hyunjin to me and just focus on her alright? Besides you can help me get better at fighting, Sir Perfect.” Felix teases slightly in hopes of lightening the rather tense mood just a little despite being the one whose life is now at risk here.

Chan sighs and gives a nod at him before looking back at the woman, “Tell us what we need to know.” 

Chan grabs their horse’s reins to guide them as the woman shows them the way as well. She stood beside Felix to point out things along the map.

“Many of these names likely have been changed, however besides Ebonywood, she spent much time in two places. Clarenshaw to the north here, in the Icelands. As well as this basin in the Dreadlands called Sinher. Between the three she gets much of what she uses for her potions and such. When I sought her out she settled between the three in this mountain pass here, among Multo pass you’ll find the tallest mountain The Lonely One, because it is high among the clouds far from the others. There is a passageway of caves at its base, Terrebrook that is where you’ll enter, and at its heart you will find a waterfall, Echo Falls. Now it is imperative that as you go behind to find her home you do not touch the water at all. You’ll be in far greater danger if you do. Do you understand?” She looks between the two who nod in response before looking over the notes Felix has been taking before approving, “Very good. One last detail of great importance...when you kill her. Tell her that Fern says hello.”

while much of the technology of the fae could be considered late rennissance/early enlightenment levels of technological advancement, there are some surprising ways the inhabitants of beatha manage to create rather advanced tech that we would usually consider the avenue of a society that has gone through an industrial revolution. dokkalfar are known for being highly advanced in areas such as plumbing/water management,  warfare, chemistry, dentistry and surgery,  engineering and infrastructure. they are limited in some respect because they dont like to use iron, but they have figured out a way around this set back by using and manipulating other materials that are more suitable for fae.

 for example, dokkalfar use the chitinous fibers of fungi/mycelium and engineer it into a very durable, very strong material similar to steel. they also use very strong silk, and ebonywood as a building material too. this way they can create massive buildings without ever using a single bit of actual tempered metal. even the giant chains that pull the great elevator of the spire up and down are not made from entirely iron or steel, but from fungus chitin, forged to be nearly unbreakable.  they’ve even figured out ways to make softer/less durable/brittle materials stronger by enhancing them with this modified fungi chitin. dokkalfar obsidian is super strong and does not possess that brittle properties that volcanic glass usually would due to their techniques. 

of all the fae most likely to undergo their own version of an industrial revolution though, it would be the svartalfar. not only do they use magic like their dokkalfar brethren to power their society, but they also have some understanding of steam technology. the svartalfar, create many types of ‘machines’ created from a mix of organic and inorganic material. they’ve even learned to program basic machines to undergo tasks without input using magic. they use these machines for all sorts of purposes -- but mostly for their building and advancement of their cities, and for service. its not uncommon to see mechanical servants or merchants to take care of more basic tasks, though they still require actual sentient beings for more complex tasks.
