Post Your Chess Sets

That's very neat!

Yeah, that is pretty cute!

Super cute. Where did you get it?

Thanks.

The "board" is from Etsy:

https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/937493839/schach-schachspiel-historische?ref=yr_purchases

But the initial chessman were too big and I replaced them with smaller pieces. Actually those are still a bit to big for the fields. But it is playable.

Yes

Btw. ... you can talk to the guy on Etsy. He can do any size on Leather.

You can even choose between 4 colors.

I don't remember where I got the chess pieces. It is over ten years ago.

The Chess pieces, which came with the red leather patch, you can see in THIS picture

(the base of the king is 2 cm).

So I asked the guy from the shop, if he can make me a bigger "board" for this remain pieces.

The field size here is 2,5 cm (roughly 1 inch).

But the cardboard-can  was bought extra.

The leather lays actually very flat.

You can see a wrinkle in the picture above,

but when you smooth it down, it is flat.

I bought a super cute and very small peg type set in Greenwich Village,NYC back in the eighties.

The beautiful wooden box would fold open  to display these very small pieces,made of ebony and ivory.The woods used were really exquisite,but it was just too small to play any meaningful game on it,so I gifted it to my son in law,who liked the look.

As someone who likes to collect stuff,it's sometimes easy to go for something on a whim....That was just me,on that occasion....Well,maybe more often than I'd like to admit.

I found it on pinterest and it is actually a brooch from Etsy.

It looks like a dolls head.

"She" is called "Lucy blue" ... Hand sculpted with fimo and painted with enamel paint. With a sturdy metal brooch back securely attached with epoxy resin glue and metal screws. 

(I guess you didn't expect this detailed info ... I copied it from Etsy)

No, I don't own this, I only found the picture online.

I hope this is allowed to post it. I can at least ask the shop owner, if he (or she) don't mind).

I don't want bother people here with my actual face :-) ... is that legit?

It's very cute....Most likely a good representation of you.....Meant with the utmost respect,btw.

I like that little leather set quite a bit!  This is my only travel set. It's a full size tournament board, but sure it's very common. Nothing special!

I like this bag for the pieces.

It is a nice chess logo on it

Thanks! The board goes in that bag too  

@ magictwanger

thanks ... but ... I'm even not female.

I wanted just a nice fantasy face as an avatar.

Maybe I change it one day .... when people starting flirting with me :-).

Hey,I have 2 grandsons who are cute and my wife still thinks I'm kinda' cute(ish).-

@ magictwanger
