Its so nice to be able to admire all these one of a kind sets and learn more about them. Thank you so much Fabiano for sharing your fantastic collection with us. I knew of the existence of some of these sets but never saw them in their full glory. Stephen, thank you so much for helping to document an important part of chess history!
Thank you so much Chess Collective. Your content is TOP NOTCH. I will be telling people about your channel. It would be my pleasure. This particular video has inspired me to buy and collect world championship chess sets from now on...
Much appreciated! I'm so glad you got inspired. It is not surprising given the enthusiasm of Fabiano. Thanks for spreading the word, it will help a lot for the channel to grow.
Ok, I'm 11 minutes into this episode and an original Hastings Congress set has made an appearance, with worn out black pieces and all. My favorite set ever! I'm so happy 🎉❤ Amazing collection, and great episode as usual.
Thank you Fabiano for sharing the most amazing unique sets mostly Russian with great historical knowledge. I like the other chess photos, unique 5 signatures of the original Grandmasters and final sealed move. Thank you Steve for organising another interview with one of the great chess collectors.
Hi Phil. My pleasure! I always learn a great deal when organizing interviews. Indeed, Fabiano was very gracious in sharing all of the photos that were used to augment the content.
If anyone wants to also play along some of the historic games discussed in this interview feel free to check out: www.thechesscollective.us/2023/06/unveiling-treasures-super-grandmaster.html
