- A time when each country had their own chess pieces. Time with foundations in history that defined each set as characteristic of that country.
The Austrian chess Coffee Set, the Bundesform and the Bohemia in Germany, the Soviet (s) set, the Czech set, the Hungarian one, the Lardy, Chavet in France, USA- The Liberty, The Windsor, Drueke, and so on, and the Spanish chess sets.
Portuguese, without a national set, I learned to play with "nuestros hermanos" chess sets, and my first chess set was bought in the Corte Inglês de Vigo. Plastic, with a generous size, I found out later with great joy, that this set was used in major Spanish tournaments in the 70s. I grew up in this game with this set, I was a poor teenager with no money for a wood set. Later, in my chess Club, the spanish Indajesa chess pieces shined in chessboards.
An immense tenderness for spanisn chess sets, plastic or wood that marked my love with chess and chess collecting. Escardibur, Indajesa, Loefer, Fournier, are names to remember.
Today, the massification and the money mark the world of chess pieces. These horrible pieces all alike, made by the millions in India with “german” Knights ,without identity, beauty, garbo, no special features, except the fact that is a great business at a competitive price, no more.
Here a tribute to some of Spanish chess pieces. Beautiful or less beautiful, but with "salero" with "grife”.
