Chess Game with my Isle of Lewis pieces

I like playing my friends with my 12th century Isle of Lewis chess set. It is my only chess set where I have to use my wooden board made of oak and walnut because the pieces are so heavy. The real pieces were naturally heavy because they were made of Ivory. In the 12th century, they used beserkers instead of rooks.
