Fischer

Fischer - a legend of the chessboard

First offered by Noj in 2026, the set named after the legendary chess player Bobby Fischer is the latest addition to our Dubrovnik collection. Bobby himself made it immortal in a celebrated series of photographs in which he poses with these very pieces, well known to Fischer fans and Dubrovnik enthusiasts alike.

While it shares the soul of the classic Dubrovnik line, a closer look reveals distinct differences in the pieces. These give the Fischer a unique character all its own. Tapered cuts on the queen's coronet, precisely made notches on the rook's subtly sloped turrets, and a downward-facing knight proudly showing its Dubrovnik heritage – details that give this iconic set its finishing touch.

Creating this set would not have been possible without the help of G. Perrin, who arranged detailed 3D scanning of his original set in the middle of the USA. With his patience and support, we managed to get remarkably close to the original shape of the pieces.

During the recreation we carved almost forty knight heads, turned more than a hundred pieces and made dozens of small finials - all of which shows that, alongside high-quality scanners, pieces like these still require precise hands and a sharp eye, until we are all happy with the result.
