NICE DESIGN!

CrimsonKnight7

Wow, I want one, that is sweet. Where can I get one.

Absolute perfection.    You sir, are a very clever gentleman.

This accent is so cool!

However, for making notes on the game, I prefer boards with numbers on their sides.

@CrimsonKnigt: He said it's unique so you won't be able to get one.

CrimsonKnight7

Lol, maybe he will start making, and selling them. Its nicely done, and I am pretty sure I would not be an only customer. His accent is cool also.

It is nice but, I prefer at least a slight border on my boards. Like at least a half inch border.

CrimsonKnight7

Perhaps he could add them as well 9kick9. That would be a nice tournament board if it had numbers, and letters along the edge as well. Light weight, easy to store, along with a nice set of chess pieces, and clock, you would not need a very big bag. The vinyl ones get creased, and some start cracking after awhile. A wooden board is much better.

Jonas, do the magnets interact w/ weights in pieces?

watcha

If a piece is pinned the magnet does not allow it to be moved.

No, I haven't noticed that, the magnets are not that strong.

Now that would be cool! Laughing

I like it without the boarder.  Less dead weight for travel.  Awesome job Izmet.  

But could you play a few moves on it so we know it works? Smile

I played that video last night (Halloween) and my wife thought it was a halloween sale.

hehehe, good! And if you didn't 'see' the opponent's move, does the board prevent it!!

DelCheMethod

That's great!

tfulk

I like that board! What an idea!

MrDamonSmith

The accent reminded me of an old Dracula movie. Or, The Count from Sesame Street. I almost expected to hear "and also, I vont to drink your blood." Or the Count counting to 10.

Lou-for-you

By the time you puzzled the board together, the game is over :-)
