Best Chessmen Ever Stage 1 Blitz set

My first ever BCE set is here and I can’t wait to play with!

All credits go to Izmet Fekali for these beautifully made ABS chessmen, crafted by a 3D printer no less! At 900gr they’re definitely not the heaviest of plastic pieces, but they certainly are the most balanced I’ve ever used. They are durable and, due to their low centre of gravity, hard to knock over. Hopefully, one day I’ll be able to afford a wooden, DGT enabled, BCE set (although the Kerrock one is equally impressive and has haunted my dreams lately). Until then, I’m sure that this plastic Blitz set will give me hours of enjoyment in the battlefield. I mean look at those pieces! The rook wants to demolish everything in sight, and that knight is ready to fly over enemy lines! 
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that the set arrived from Slovenia to the UK in less than week.

I take this as a compliment

Yes and what your set reminds me of.

Is that because Tobey Maguire, who played Spiderman  - also played Bobby Fischer?

Or is it because of the extremely bright colours?

You guys in the UK still have ToysR'us? ToyR'us went under in America not too long ago.

They're back, apparently:

Interesting. I know that I quit going and supporting Toy R' Us due to it being a Gun Free business. A sign saying no Guns Allowed doesn't keep guns out. Sorry but I am not putting my life in the hands of a sign and a company policy. So I stayed out of their stores. 

They're online and haves a store in NJ and I think Texas.

Was that a point of principle or were Toy's R Us stores really that dangerous?

I witnessed a shooting and murder on a gun free zone. Also police officers is America carry firearms on their hips no matter how good or bad the neighborhood they are patrolling. It's not about how good the neighborhood you are in. People are who commit murders not a neighborhood. This is a sore and touchy subject for me and I think that it is foolish and arrogant for business owners to think that if you put up a gun free zone sign on their door. That guns and bad things will not happen. Actually it increases the chances for it to happen and causes high numbers of deaths because there is no resistances to the one who has the gun. Mass Shootings in America isn't a gun violence problem. It is a gun control problem. France has tougher gun control measures than America and yet they weren't safer for it when terrorist committed their acts of terror.
