a knight

[reserved space for a picture of a knight]

I can lend you one. Or four.

Your ‘Hands’ can lend you a whole thread: five knights.😉

Thanks guys, I have probably a dozen plastic sets to choose from, I just wasn't able to post pic atm...well here it is now, a very tiny knight:

In a somewhat sad indictment of my life at present - 30 minutes ago, I was invited to a gaming knight with a chess set designer … to pick up a chess set … and alas, I am at home eating pizza this Saturday night - unable to make it because my beautiful wife flew interstate early this week to aid her elderly and ill mother. I am on daughter and puppy duties and a tad housebound in the evenings currently. 😞

Alas, it is online chess for me tonight rather than OTB but I look forward to showing a new set soon….

Oh, and the pizza 🍕

That pizza looks delicious. No signals from my brain yet. But it´s taxing to be a manual labourer and I´m starting to get hungry despite doing no heavy lifting.

Hmmm... His Majesty! One step,forward or a rightwards sidestep. 'No handsignals, no hidden messages. A 50/'50 proposition. I´ll have to think (to the extent a hand can do that) about this. It´s 11 AM where I operate so I may sleep on it. Hopefully I´m sober when I wake up...

o-o

Nice rook … 👍

Rac8 … and photos updated …

Ah, a whole box of pieces to choose from!

Rfe1 (and, yes, the white bishop on f3 is for some inexplicable technical reason invisible on my picture...). The pieces came with a set from Leduetorri (italian vendor) and the board is tournament sized mousepad one from HoS.

White creates invisible Bishop.

Black responds with phantom Knight.

It becomes interesting.

I love that silhouette photo…👍👍👍.

I am less enamoured with my lack of skill and understanding of this fine game called chess … the shadow knight moves: Nf8

Well, we are two hands and I´m by far the weakest player. I hope our brains, when this game is over, will explain what moves they had in mind when they issued their instructions...
