Knights to Remember

@loubalch those are nice!

@Nisse_FR 1930's and from your grandfather...what a treasure. 🙂

Edit: These knights look like they are from a different time and place but I suspect the pieces themselves aren't very old.

HORSIE!1!

I will interpret that a a request for more. 😉

WOWOW

I'm glad you like the photos of your fellow horsies. 😃

They look very nice

I appreciate this display of Knightlife.

Thank you, I'm very glad you appreciate the photos. 🙂🙂

I've taken this photo right now:

Very nice, they look like animated little ponies. 🐎😃

And now, something completely different for those battling in financial markets as well as challengers over the chessboard, a set combining both, replacing the horse as the animal totem with carvings of the bull and bear for the opposing market forces they represent. From a limited-edition set no longer available in this configuration.

Thank you, Tvym,

I love it when people get puns.  My knight history is quite interesting. When I first started chess, I was distraught because I lost five consecutive games (all in better positions to knight forks. I turned in my score sheet to John Donaldson, the TD at the MI at that time. He told him I hated knights and that I lost five consecutive games to knight forks.  He quipped;, knights are giving you nightmares. I laughed, and the frustration was gone. I shared that story with one of my close friends. A week later, I received a nightlight shaped like a  Knight for my nightmares, resulting in another peal of laughter.

Several months later, I played a game with Jerry, one of our club members, and again was trapped by a knight fork. Jerry said, you don’t like night jobs, which made me laugh. Later on, I trapped him with a knight fork; I think it was a royal fork. “You got me back,” Jerry said, “and with interest,” I enjoy my nightlife.
