Yeah, I gotta clean out my closet...

And I have a chess set I never used much since its to big...

Sadly, my sister has broken some pieces (of the board, and piece themself) - oh well, still a cool piece...

    That's a GREAT looking board.

    What are the figures made of? Can you get a closeup of a couple?

    Cheers,

    TMI.

    If someone were to post a nude photograph of their grandmother, and this, I'd feel more embarrased for them after looking at that chess set. :p

    I love chess but I suck at it. I dont have a strategic mind at all. Im way too Neanderthal in most things I do along these lines. I just run charging headlong into battle with the biggest guns.

    I either win decisively in the first 10 moves or get my **** handed to me in the first 4 moves! I dont see too many long drawn out thinking games!

    You should see me try to play co-op video games like Halo or Doom. My comrades are waiting back, taking it slowly and assessing the situation then I go running into the room guns blazing. The good thing tho is I usually mark the "trouble" spots with my corpses! :D

    Darn right, when I play Halo - I usually try to enter the room with a rocket launcher... that gets things moving quickly...

    I'm OK at chess.

    I have not played seriously since I was in the ARMY. I trapped my Seargent Major into a corner:D he had more wine than me.

    My grandmother got me a chess set from Poland one year. It's hand carved and stuff, looks pretty slick. I'll have to take pictures of it. The board is beech and walnut and the pieces are solid maple.

    That sounds sharp! There are some beautiful sets out there. Even if you dont play you would want to have one.

    Ive seen them as high as $800 and Im sure there are plenty more worth a ton more.
