When I got my first job out of college in 1999, the first thing I bought was a chess set from Chess Forum. Last year, seven years being at the same job, I bought my second chess set, and this is it: the Fischer set.
At first I am not too crazy about the tops on the bishops. I thought that it might actually make more sense to have the dot be white for the bishops on the white square and a black dot for the bishops on the black square.
However, when I took this photo today from a top-down angle, I suddenly noted the genius design in this set, you can easily tell the bishops from the pawns in this view!
