Answers.Text: One White Rook is badly damaged, which is much worse than the King missing his top. But this is exactly the same kind of chess set. The colors of the squares look different but it may be caused by unnatural lighting. I don't know. In any case, the pieces could well serve as a backup set. Thanks. Are you the seller?

Answers.Text: no, i found this on the internet. You can replace the pieces in your current set with the ones from this set. That way you will have one complete set (apart from black king) and one incomplete set as a spare.

Answers.Text: I started the bounty with the sole intention of awarding it to you but the interface informed me that I need to wait 23 hours before I can do that, which is ridiculous considering that I explicitly selected the option to reward an existing answer. Let us wait till tomorrow.

Body: <p>From childhood I have this favorite chess set which I use every day. The Black King and Queen no longer have the small white balls on their heads and the board is scratched in many places. I would like to buy a new one but cannot find it in any of the chess stores in Poland where I live. Can anyone point me to a seller of this kind of magnetic chess set anywhere in the world?</p>

  <p>EDIT: I have already purchased a set like that thanks to Aric Fowler's answer, which is going to receive a 100 point bounty. Unfortunately, this new set is even more damanged than my old one. I have only managed to replace my damaged queen with a healthy one but I am still looking for another set, so this question is still open.</p>
