When I was 9 yrs old my oldest brother taught me the moves. I played for a
while but gave up the game and now have come back after 26 yrs!

I remember my brother had this very nice chess set, with soldiers as pawns,
actual knights riding on horses, castle towers for rooks, the king and
queen, etc. I have been looking for a set similar to that, just to bring
back the wonderful memories of childhood (this was '72 and we all wanted to
be like Fischer back then...) but I haven't seen anything like it online.

Anyway, a few months ago I bought Reinfelds 1001 Brilliant Combos and there
it is! I had not noticed until now, but there, right on the cover... that's
the chess set my brother used to have (I called him and asked him for it,
but he no longer has it and can't remember what happened to it.)

Does anyone know who sells this chess set?

Thanks!

Probably its the E. S. Lowe RENAISSANCE Chess set. I don't think it is
still being made, but I see it on Ebay a lot. Here is one link, there
are a few up for sale right now.

I had the gold and silver colored one, but sold it about a year back.
