Unboxing NOJ Best Chess Ever - BCE

I'm sorry for my unpleasant breathing noises (sighs), but unfortunately I had the flu that day... After 1 year on the waiting list (19th oct 2023), I received my package at last. It is more beautiful than in the VDO. I am very happy. My chess set is a BCE Stage 1 Eastern set, in maple and walnut, with blue leather pads, stamped Rook and Knight, and extra queens The Knights are not the improved version. I chose this version with these options, because I wanted a version with neat lines. I also wanted a design that was different from the Staunton designs I already own.
