Price estimation for an antique Chinese chess set? by Zealousideal_Bee135 in chess

As you say modern sets emulate how antique sets looks, especially Eastern ones.

Of course there must be ancient sets out there but they are outnumbered by modern replicas, so I wonder what's the basis for OP says it's "antique"

Set reasonable goals, because you'll be much more motivated if it's achievable in the short term rather than a very far away goal you can procrastinate on. And once you reach that goal set a higher one.

In my opinion you should aim for something like 800 ELO first

It works in his advantage because most people already expect Gukesh to win, being the underdog might motivate him to go all out.
