That's awesome McGoohan. I'm working on making some wood pieces for the witch and guard. I did the white pieces so far. Now doing the black ones.

 

Are those for sale? I would like to buy myself a set plus a board for that.

No unfortunately, I don't plan to sell the pieces that I made. I made them by modifying pieces from a chess set (wood) that had some missing pieces. Luckily it had enough so I could make the new variant pieces.

I've had a few discussions with some people who might use a 3D printer to make a complete bulldog chess set (10 pawns each color, guard, witch, and so forth). But nobody has followed-thru and completed the entire task. It sounds easy at first, but when you consider it's 40 pieces total, and 3D models don't exist for the special pieces, it could be a lot of work. (But once done, they could probably make duplicates easily).

@acceptablecheddar, @Oka1493 do you want to play eachother and looking for someone who sets up the board?

Btw, I'm playing a game now against @haoming09 (here) using physical chess pieces (shown under construction at posts #16 and #17). The normal chess pieces are from an inexpensive wood set. The chess table was made by my great-grandfather in the year 1931. Although it's an 8x8 board, it's pretty easy to visualize the 1st and 10th files.

The Guard is hard to estimate but probably between minor piece and Rook.

I think the guard is a minor piece
