Dubrovnik II — the story continues
The Dubrovnik II set was designed by Andrija Maurović, a master of Yugoslav comics, and the original pieces were made in the workshop of master Jakopović in Zagreb. While the original Dubrovnik set has elegant, soft lines, the II series is characterized by a sturdier design, better suited to fast blitz games.
The Dubrovnik II is the first major variation in our Legacy series. Created after the original 1950 edition, most likely between 1955 and 1965, these pieces are noticeably taller and sturdier, with strong bases that make them very well suited to fast blitz play.
The pieces are made according to plans by the Zagreb publisher Šahovska naklada.
In fact, this was the very first Dubrovnik set our workshop ever encountered. We first made these pieces around 2010.
