@bananamoon - thank you!
6.30am in the morning here and watching that video with a coffee in hand is a great way to start the day. What a wonderful collection of chess paraphernalia; housed in a stylish and functional space too. 👍

Echoing everyone's thoughts on a great video. I have gone down the rabbit hole looking up all the various items in Mr. DeLucia's collection.
Has to be the best collection in the world as it is easily managed at 4,500 books. The late Lothar Schmid's collection is way way bigger and difficult to sell. Will David sell his? Looking like it with Sotheby's on the job. I wonder are there any sleepers out there. Karpov I suspect for one. Bob Meadley

ASTONISHING!!
I hope everyone on these forums gets to see this thread and watch this simply "amazing" video!
Also,it will make it an easier sell to my wife,as to why I need my 19th tournament sized set.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
I cannot even estimate the value of the historical assets in the collection, particularly the personal effects that were owned or used by the previous world champions and their fellow strong players during their respective eras.
I had been wondering where the notes had gone. Here they all are!
