    My fascination with wooden chess sets – Chavet Chess – part 3

    I had mentioned in one of my earlier blogs that I love wooden chess sets and displayed photos of my TSL chess set.  Well today I present to you another one from France.  This set is made by Chavet of France and which I bought many years ago from my friend in Nairobi.

    It has stayed in my cupboard for almost 14 years and last week decided that it was time it came out and I share the photos with you.

    The feel of the set is great and it does not have any felt.  It is not weighted but it is just great and it comes with its own wooden box.   The King is 3.5 inches.

    Their website is Chavet Chess on Way Back Machine Archive.

    I would highly recommend this set for any chess aficionado.
