So sad. Pity they're effectively lost to the world otherwise it would be a great thing to have asked him permission to be able to scan them to make replicas. Things of beauty, no matter what they are should be shared with the world.
At present, there's 4or 5 companies around the world who make replicas. wood, and even plastic ones. Bobby's personal set is in the hands of an anonymous, private collector.
If you want the EXACT replica, top class set, it will cost you top money, but it will be worth it. www.noj.si/?mod=catalog&action=productDetails&ID=191
@@johnnypastrana6727 Well. He refused to defend his title because he didn't think draws should count against the number of games played, then he disappeared, then he showed up to break the law just to play Spassky. Then he disappeared again and then called into Filipino radio stations to say he was happy 9/11 happened. Nothing happened to him. He did it all to himself.
Too bad Bobby lost his mind-he was a brilliant chess master-he still had so much to give to the world. Very few westerners have become chess champions of the world-it's only: Steinitz,Lasker,Capablanca,Euwe,Fischer and Carlsen.
Wtf are you talking about? Fischer loved the Dubrovnic chess set because he enjoyed playinf with it and for the reasons he mentioned. Stop trying to throw trash at Bobby just because you'll never reach his greatness. That's do pitiful. 😔
I own a 1950 imitation Dubrov for it’s design that catches my eye, I could care less what Bobby had to say about it, we all like for different reasons, a classic Staunton is fine too, let’s appreciate the effort of Indian wood set makers which is crazy hard work.
The Dubrovniks chess set is like the Essence of Bobby!!!!❤
(sigh)
How I really wish to get the Dubrovnik set some day.♡
So sad.

Thanks for sharing this call with Bobby Fischer. Interesting discussion on chess sets. When did this call take place?
richbike2000 June 1999
Great, fantastic and immortal Bobby Fischer!!! Respect forever!!! 👍👍👍
is this eugene torre, the filipino GM? my countryman!
Yes. It is him.
Still not got it back!
Best player ever, extremely accurate opinions on the juice too
agreed
"The Jews stole it!!!" Haha! Anyways, interesting audio.
Haha
gamer
Interestingly enough: he was in fact correct!
Rest In Peace
Sad. Beautiful pieces though.
Great chess player but completely around the bend.
And so attached to little figures of wood. Spoke of them with a passion, kinda crazy.
You are mistaken...do some research of what happened to Fischer before you sit in judgment of the man...

Haahaa love Fischer. What a savage!
WRONG! the 1972 Fischer-Spassky set was a modern (1972) Jaques Staunton
he said 1992. their 2nd match.
@@abdul-rahim9816
1992? Than I'm wrong,
I thought 1972!
Thanks for the correction
@@richardrothenberg170 rematch in 92....
Blunder.
bobby prolly still had the set and they got another one..lol
I still wonder who has his original set :(
I think it’s probably in a Croatian museum
@@harveymccleave8247 it was sold to some random person to pay for outstanding bills, person proberbly lost or broke it not knowing its value
Like Stealing Jimmy Pages First Touring Axes
it is shame there is no real cure for insanity. Most do not know that He was always like that.
He wasnt insane.

doesn’t sound crazy in this to me, he sounds very lucid
And Morphy.
@@hkhjg1734He's only a little crazy here, it got worse.
@@denisdooley1540 Not really. Morphy was the best of his time,but he didn't really won his crown.
He didn’t lose his mind
Great chess player. Sad human being.
Fischer was Jewish...so he probably hated the religious symbolism on regular Stauntons...it's not that he loved the Dubrovnik lol

What a mindset i mean really ffs

the king lacking religious symbolism most definitely played into his preference
No
