My son was mobile the other day and needed change for the bus. The only store he could find was a store selling cheap gifts and novelty items. Since he's just starting to learn chess, he figured he'd kill two birds with one stone and buy a very compact chess set he saw in the store to get change. When I got home he was sitting with the gameboard open and the pieces set up but the piece positions were all wrong. I looked at it and said, "Nice little board but the pieces are in the wrong place!" He said, "I tried to remember what you showed me and then I looked at the box and set them up to match." Take a look at the box lol
Even the checker setup is wrong (It's a combo Chess/Backgammon/Checkers set, hence all the pieces on the checkerboard)
Not a good way to promote Chess for beginners!
