3-d peices

is it just me or does anyone else find it hard to concentrate when using the 3-D pieces?

i just tried a different color board( marble blue i think) and its great! it really makes the pieces less eye popping

i take back what i just said,i lost 2 games cause of the stupid 3d pieces

Its like any board though, it takes a little while to get used to "seeing" it.

im used to it. doesnt really bother me

i can hardly play properly on a real board, let alone using 3d pieces.

sad, a 3d being thinking in 2d.

It bothers be too.

i hate 3d

i use classic pieces+blue marble board...really nice

3-d chess sets makes it REALLY hard to concentrate for me too.

I hate 3-d peices, I use the maya ones. (like the way they look)

It's not the 3d pieces - it's the 2d board they're sitting on.

I blundered a queen just becauseI used 3-d pieces

they really stink especially if you play touch move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Wow, lots of hate on the 3D pieces.

I only use the 3D pieces, and any blunders made using them were NOT because of the pieces' style.  I believe that 3D helps visualize things better when you move to OTB play.

Worth mentioning is that I'm using the 3D-Wood pieces on the Marble Green board, with board size set to Large.

3-s

I like them actually. I chose wooden pieces with the olive board. Seems nice to me.

 what? it is pretty hard using 3-d pieces. i hate 3-d pieces

I don't even look at games, or problems when the diagram uses the 3d pieces.

3-d pieces are a good idea, but horrible in practice. I just can't visualize the board well enough with these intrusive pieces obscuring my line of sight.

some time's i use them but i like modern the most
