Very Nice Version . The Latvian Tal Chess

A very nice version of the ever popular Latvian Tal Chessmen. Pieces play well together on my board with 2 1/8" squares. Nicely carved knights. Well balanced pieces for tournament and blitz play. For a playing set of this quality, you can't beat the price.
