Vintage Style Chess Set Chinese Qing Dynasty This is a standard international chess set with figures modeled on Manchurian royalty that ruled China from the 17th to the early 20th Century. The board folds up into an elegant wooden carrying case, which looks just as nice closed up on a shelf as it does with the chess pieces arranged on top. These chess sets are made in northwest China using traditional methods and incorporating motifs from Chinese history and mythology. The chess pieces are molded from ground cattle bone. The board is made of wood and coated with a layer of leather that is sealed with a lacquer paint that is a specialty of the region. The inside of the box is often layered with Chinese characters taken from poetry and classic literature, giving the whole affair a retro elegance and vintage charm. A wonderful way to play chess!

Customer Review: Useful games colection
Let me clear the basic facts about what kind of book this (and the rest of the series) is; it is a game colection, very resonably anotated, with critical points arising somewhere at the end of opening phase or at the begining of middlegame. (It is not a bambambum tactics which resolve a game in instant.) At that point thematic tactical move arises which usually changes the evaluation of position by (dissa)prooving the way to handle it as black or white. Since the whole game is covered, we can see the ultimate logic of playing that position to win, but in number of games inferior side is giving its best to stay in the game. Although cover of this book is focusing on french defence, out of its 236 pages the french is having around 1/4 of it having 68 pages. The rest of the book comprises of 50 pages of Caro-Kann, 22 pages of Scandinavian, 40 pages of Pirc, 12 pages of Kings fianchetto and 26 pages of Alekhine, to be precise. What I like the most in this book is that authors managed to find a good balance between descriptive and analytic in annotating the games from the book. Also, the most of the games in here are very new, which is nice from the teoretical point, but I like that authors also included some of the great clasic games from those openings, which can be very instructive.
I give this book a strong four stars, and can recommend it to the practitioners of theese openings as a useful reminder and refreshment.
