Another nice site for fine, hand carved chess sets is the House of Staunton.

I thought this was insteresting.  It is both a chess set and a simple puzzle:

That is effing awesome.  Where can I get it?

Thats pretty cool! :D

Except if your toddler-child fell over onto it then King could cause nasty-injury?

Or if it takes you longer to put the game away than it does to play.

I don't think it'd cause an injury?

I don't know where one would get one from.

Chess Game

Every great king has a queen at thier side 

poetic the struggle 

a rook at each side 

a move causes change

the kingdoms are drawn 

send in the forces 

scouting our pawns

knights are of honour 

bishops slide in 

chess is poetic 

let us begin

chess is poetic together we write 

a beautifull kingdom 

i say its no fight 

no struggle no loss 

just life to enjoy 

chess is a poem we all can enjoy 

PLEASE REMEMBER WE ALL WIN ( KEEP UP THE POETIC CHESS )
