[worldwide509]

Just to keep abreast of what is going on in the world of chess. The Jewel Royale (Chess Set) Company Ltd. in England is producing a chess set with a reported price of 5 million GBP or about $8.8 million dollars. For those who may be interested. I've enclosed their website for you to enjoy. http://www.jewelroyale.com/welcome.html

i reckon i would for such a sum settle for a selection of top quality antique sets . which i would treasure for the rest of my days on this planet . with the balance enjoy my collection in comfort.

Hi worldwide I don't think much to it Ive seen a much better set in ivory of a similar style Incredibly finely done and I don't think this type of ostentation is for most people however I suppose there are people in the world rich enough to buy it, good luck to them

This set will be fit for a true emperor! ...One with no clothes, that is. I'm afraid this one goes in the "most ridiculous" list in my book. I suppose in a couple of years there will be a copy from India on eBay for about 3 thousand dollars.

i think it would make a good set for those rough and tumble blitz games. that coiled stem should give a littled added snap when you knock the opponents pieces flying off the board.
