At the Hunter's Point Park in Queens, the chessboards are built into the tables. If you sit the way you are supposed to, the black squares are on the right side of the board.
Yup... you don't see chess players there too often.
Now that is funny!!! And sad at the same time.
can you nerds identify this set?
Let me see...
Okay, that is better...
That is obviously the up-side down laughing staunton knight set.
You can start your research here:

Second, I suggest starting a post with the title "Can you identify this set?"
Or something like that...
And maybe not start your question in the middle of another post with, "Hey, you nerds!"
Just some suttle tips that might help.

WOW! Now that is a first for me. I would have to check that for photoshop editing... just too funny.
I got it on eBay. No photoshop. I have heard from another collector that has an identical set except the board is labelled right, so go figure.

just amazing. Never know, errors sometimes have greater value.
The set itself seems to be an unlicenced copy of a set by Ćmielów anyway. I haven't been able to find out more about it and misprint or not I don't think it has any value. Funny though.

Yeah, . Maybe no added value in this case.
You'd be surprised how often that happens with old, non-staunton when they don't think people can tell.
A couple of Rooks are on the correct square.
Two rooks and two pawns... 4 out of 32
Oh, it is funny. I'm glad to see some "lighter" topics here. We could all use a smile. thanks
Definitely a traditional British Staunton Design.
The set seems to have pieces that could be, not saying they are, form more than one Staunton set.
There are so many sets with this design. Pin pointing the exact set would take time.

Chess, Checkers, Chess, Checkers, Chess... oh, just put them all on the board!
Vintage plastic set, only asking $55.00 US, can't find these anymore, better hurry...
Vintage chess pieces, NO board...
For some reason, I just can't stop laughing with this one.
The description actually said, “NO board”.
I should add, seller is only asking $125.00 US for this heap of "_____", well, I'll let you fill in the blank. Without a board? NO WAY!
Some version of Staunton I guess.
