How Are Hand-Made Chess Pieces Made? | How Do They Do It? 

Noob, it only takes me 3

You noobs, it takes me 1 second to blunder

@@vedran3775 teach me your ways

Noob, I premove blunders cause I play online

And here I am the noobest one trying to know what is blunder.

The other pieces are also more detailed if you look close at them.

sometimes less is more. Simple is the best

But damn look at the more intricate details for me its better

Not really, cuz you don't want a super detailed piece when their thoughts are so abstract. You want to allow players to focus on the game not the pieces.

True !!

@@bugsycline3798, thank you!

@Mr H compared to other sets of the same quality, that's pretty good!

@Sunrise Boy I believe you get an additional 30% off when you order something on backorder. You should jump on it then and not wait til it’s restocked.

@Mr H I don’t think u realize what some chess stuff can go for man, that shit pricey

that made me smile too : D "spinning at a dizzying 2,400 RPM"

Yes 2400 RPM😂😂

And also the 1,400 rpm

per MINUTE as well! 2400 and 1400 are 40 and 23 times per second.

Agreed, but handsaws and lathes and stuff are pretty rare in india

That was one of the most beautiful chess sets I've seen

I've been to India. That was cleaned up.

@Ghost K That gives the pieces a special touch

You want to watch a documentary that is not set in the true environment?

Anuj Gupta No, that just would've been my thought if I were the factory owner and I knew a film crew was coming through. But hey, gotta make some chess pieces. Film crews and messes be damned.

@@lordrudolph1037 no it was not liar.

came here for this

Haha, good catch.

England used to own India back then. The whole country was a private company at one point until they caused massive civil unrest and were taken over by the crown.

Conditions were slightly better in Victorian England - comparing with pictures of textile mill workers in Manchester and iron workers in Birmingham foundries.

@@harveybenatt786 overpriced

Here you can at only dollar 41 www.etsy.com/in-en/shop/TheMaryamCrafts?ref=search_shop_redirect

@@mujahidulislam650 That shop is a pile of shit.

Any high priced set will have a decent knight piece. It’s the hallmark of any chess set.

Yeah but they’re terrible looking low detail ones that look like you bought at the dollar store.

@@KandiKlover yes but the t-34 sent the Germans back to Berlin.

@@randompeople7595 Stop making sense!

@@randompeople7595 through how much sacrifice . It wasn't what the russian people wanted but what the communist party wanted . When the german army first entered the Ukraine, they were greeted as liberators because of the mass famine created by Stalin that caused the deaths of millions plus mass executions which the Ukrainians remember to this day .

@@doughoward6401 Those who greeted nazis as liberators, did massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia - 100 000 dead, Lwów Ghetto - 120,000 Polish Jews, Babi Yar - 150,000 people killed, the list is countless, they killed millions. Are you a nazi, Howard?

@rigoagui no the link is correct, you need to search for THE ALEXANDER STALLION SERIES CHESS PIECES BOXWOOD & EBONY set which is $600

@rigoagui yes you are right when looked at it again, the bottom curves different, but overall i think it is same quality, maybe light in the video makes it look nicer. still both great set.

u can try look up chessbazar.com

actualy its chessbazaar.com

That is the famous King's sacrifice

Could be the end of the match. Indeed often, the kings are places facing each other in the center

@@cesaresperelli2817 lol

Inspired by Vidit

They learned this move from Vidit

If you made it like this- people would buy for sure.. I think people would pay up to $300 for these pieces.

Walkthrough a sweat shop

Don't you play anymore? Or why is it nostalgic

Those good old days of 16's

How do you do that?

Indian product quality is not questionable because of the people working in it. It is because they try to cut corners on cheap products.

@@archaicnymph2977 if you look at the review at their website, people are talking about how they love the product and considering they bought it at 100-200usd price range average, it piques my curiosity of their workers pays

@@oraoraoraoraora6959 It's definitely a case of the company owner driving around in a fancy car and living in a big air conditioned house while his workers live in slum conditions. That'll never change.

@@BlackOrchardbooks as an Indian i can confirm your point of view ...... The money never reaches these workers as they deserve...... The workers are very skillful I wonder how much will they get paid in a developed country as usa , uk , or sweden

@@oraoraoraoraora6959 Jaque!!

Copied comment, you just modified 5 Years to 10 years lol

@@sharkk6820 yes I saw that too

Why you steal this comment dude

Well done copying

Where bro?

The worker is manipulating the burr by hand, so it is still hand-made.

Yea

Seeing this really got on my nerves with how pretty the pieces were.

yes, the scariest opening of all. (through money, through money, through money)

Ha, didn't expect that to be referenced.

Everything is made in sweatshop these day.

Jizz XD

I hear you. There's so many hazards in this video it's crazy.

Well, it does spin, so you can express it in RPM.

The band rotates, so you can say rpm. You obviously never did any woodworking

@@redresistor1330 Wood working some, metal working a lot. plastic working, a lot .

@@redresistor1330 - That would a meaningless figure, though, since the length of a band can vary greatly.
