The casket board is made of tinted Karelian birch, by hand, especially for road chess. A steel plate is installed under the playing field for fixing silver figures on magnets. Two types of game pieces are inserted into 32 cells inside the board. The Battle of Sinope, which ended in an undisputed victory for Russian sailors, went down in history as the last major battle of sailing fleets, and the first large-scale battle involving steamships. Also, in this battle, for the first time, new 68-pound \"bomb\" guns were massively used, which stood on the lower battery decks of Russian battleships and fired explosive shells rather than solid cores. The explosion of such a bomb, fired from a distance of 500-1000 meters, punched a hole in the side of a wooden ship with an area of more than one square meter. Conventional guns penetrated the thick wooden side only from a distance of about 100-150 meters, without causing significant damage to the hull.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe Battle of Sinope is a rare example in world history of the defeat of a naval base with a fleet stationed there as a result of an attack from the sea. Nakhimov was able to achieve brilliant success due to the fact that, firstly, he attacked the enemy, contrary to established rules, in two columns, which made it difficult for the Turkish gunners to fire, and secondly, the surprise factor was very important. The vice Admiral led the first line personally, from the captain's bridge of the flagship Empress Maria. Osman Pasha could not have expected that the Russians would enter the bay, protected by the fire of coastal batteries, at that time it was believed that such an attempt would doom the brave man to defeat. Osman Pasha's losses were enormous: all the ships of the squadron were destroyed. The Turks lost 3,000 sailors, 1,000 paratroopers and almost 500 guns. Nakhimov's losses amounted to 38 people killed and 210 wounded. Two ships needed repairs. The news of the Sinop victory caused a great resonance in Russia and abroad. With the victory in the Battle of Sinope, the Russian fleet gained supremacy in the Black Sea and thwarted Turkish plans to land troops in the Caucasus. After winning the battle, Vice Admiral Nakhimov was ready to march on Istanbul, which was left without cover from the sea. Panic reigned in the Turkish capital, the authorities were in disarray, and the sultan had no money to continue the war. However, Nicholas I reasoned otherwise and ordered the fleet to return to Sevastopol. Many historians believe that this was a fatal mistake by the emperor. The brilliant victory of Vice Admiral Pavel Nakhimov served as a kind of \"trigger\" for the outbreak of the Crimean War.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nGilded pieces — Russian Navy : Chess pawn — gunboat Chess Rook — Russian fortress Chess Knight — frigate Kulevchi Chess Knight — frigate Kagul Chess Elephant — steamship frigate Odessa Chess Elephant — steamship frigate Crimea Chess Queen — flagship Empress Maria Chess King — Commander, Admiral, P.

We love working with the noblest metal, which is silver, artfully combining it with leather, crystal, wood, glass, amber and various ornamental stones.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>We sincerely want to continue the tradition of creating gifts from expensive materials, which was started by Russian jewelers. We are looking for inspiration in the national history, in the epic and fabulous past of our country. We choose objects of peasant life as objects or simply depict scenes from peasant life on silver utensils. We reproduce the texture of other materials in silver – leather, fur, wood, bast, birch bark, flax. Altmaster masters love national symbols, so, for example, our Empire collection, which has already become a classic, is known throughout Russia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over the past fifteen years, we have developed our own recognizable creative style, our own \"hand\". If we make historical parallels, then our things are most similar to antique items created by jewelers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These are I. P. Sazikov, I. P. Khlebnikov, the Grachev brothers, O. F. Kurlyukov, A.V. Lyubavin, A.M. Postnikov, M.Ya. Tarasov, P. A. Ovchinnikov and I. S.
