Here is the re-introduction of Averbakh 1949 Moscow Chess Championship match. It was seen Yurii Averbakh playing with the set with matches against Zagorainsky in 1949. Chess Praxis in his early years called this set as Averbakh 1 Set. Hence the 1949 Moscow Championship Set, also known as the “Averbakh” or “Averbakh 1” as our patron saint Arlindo Vieira identified the set as one of his four “Utopia” sets in his iconic 2012 video.

Very nice. Just right and no chipping when my cats come flying from across the room and land on my coffee table. I really like the bishops. Please expand your set variety I want to get another set soon.
I found a picture of Averbakh playing chess and this repro is identical to the pictured chess pieces he was playing with.

This is an exquisite chess set . The quality of the craftsmanship is outstanding.I recommend it to all chesslovers
With ICC you can also rely on excellent service. I received my chess set only 5 days after
ordering
The Averbakh 1949 set arrived today. I am delighted at the quality of the craftsmanship. It exceeds my expectations and will be a joy to play with for many years. I'm looking forward to adding your work to my collection in the future.
Nicely done. Very nicely Carved and painted. Love the antiqued coffee color.
Playing devil's advocate, I would have love it to be slightly heavier and the steams to be slightly thinner downward the base. Details. The set is awesome and the price is super competitive. Great Job.
