Original Dubrovnik Design from 1950

The Dubrovnik-style chess pieces were first introduced in 1950, when Yugoslav artist and sculptor Pocek designed them for the ninth Chess Olympiad in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The goal was to create a stable, playable, and easy-to-handle set of chess pieces. Pocek not only met this goal but exceeded all expectations.

Timeless Elegance and Unique History

The enduring popularity of the Dubrovnik pieces can be attributed to their sleek yet functional design. One major factor in their lasting appeal is Bobby Fischer's fondness for this set. Fischer, who famously defeated Soviet player Boris Spassky in the 1972 World Chess Championship, cherished his Dubrovnik set and requested it be used for the 1992 rematch against Spassky.
