"Hi, I'm Lady. Welcome to the Chess Forum. We're located in New York City, in Soho between Bleeker and West Third. We have been in business for thirteen years and today we're going to talk about a few of our chess sets. In this clip, we are going to talk about a couple of Russian sets. Here we have the Russian Village and it is on a cedar board. These pieces are hand carved and hand painted and they really portray the Russian babushka. Here you have Russian porcelain, which is very special because it is made by a company that makes kitchenware and not chess sets and so, this is really a collector's item and it sells for seven hundred and fifty dollars. This set is very different and unique in the sense that it is made out of porcelain and, usually, chess sets are made out of either wood or metal and so therefore it is very easy to break. This set is used more for decoration than as a real chess set."
