I have decided to gift my self a new chess set(excluding the board) for new year's.I would appreciate any suggestion on the same.Based on the sets that you might have come across or own.
These are my conditions.
1)Has to be Wood
2)No over the top exotic designs which would give me a hard time recognizing the pieces when I play.
3)Not more than $1500
4)The design should have unique features and very high level of craftsmanship.
5)I would like the knights to have very realistic features .
6)The king should be 4 inch or more.
I am leaning towards two sets set the moment(http://www.regencychess.co.uk ) .But before I make my purchase I would want to be sure that I have considered all possible options and not missed out any specific seller who might be a lil to niche for me to notice .
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have .
Happy holidays
