	Thanks for the replies. The Jaques site doesn't have a way to order stuff from their website so it will take me a while to get their catalog in the mail since I live in the States. I fount this on eBay, it isn't exactly what I want but it's a nice set for under $100: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5915657484&ssPageName=ST...

	The offered LINK is not from JAQUES!!! The ORIGINAL JAQUES chess pieces you find here: www.jaques.co.uk/online_brochure/chess_section/index.htm SutterCane

	I recognize terror as the finest emotion in a chessgame and so I will try to terrorize my opponent. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify ...

	I got a nice set for less than $20 over a year ago from http://store.convekta.com/shop_model.asp. It was a Staunton 6 with a King of 100mm I think. It a really nice set and it shipped within 2 weeks, it has a nice weight and feel to it. There are some nice sets around for silly money, that I can put to better use Best wishes in the hunt

	Hello, with scholastic chess around the corner I want to buy myself a nice chess set and folding wooden board (with labeled ranks and files) and my opponent at PA State Champs had a very nice Jaques Chess Set. I asked him how much it was and he said that his parents got it for less then $200 for a graduation present. So when I got home I started to look for this set and I see them as $700-1100 dollars, his set was real (had a staunton certificate of some sort inside the box). Am I missing something? Is there a cheaper Jaques-style chess set that looks like the real thing that I just can't find for some reason? Any help would be great, thanks
