Nice and very convenient if you live in an earthquake zone 
J-pax : on www.design-dautore.com they refer to their facebook, there you find these pictures ( I just checked again...)
What an unusual chess set - delightful!
(Reminds me of weebles... "Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down.")

I suppose some might call this chess set art. The pricetag is over £5million.
i could not find real pictures on google... i think the drawings/story of the jewel royale chess set is promotion of the thriller/book metioned in the article

Maybe they won't make any until they get a down payment and no one has offered?
See www.marblesthebrainstore.com for this set, price 250 dollar !
i think that wobble chess would be annoying after 5min and that 5million $ chess-set looks like pure photoshop/3d programm
HAA thanks Winnie.... finaly a classic beauty again :)
this is how i finished Emanueal Lasker drawing.
Thanks, j-pax, you are a great artist, to be able to express the essence of his nature, see my comment in post nr 815/816, eight weeks ago !
Some time ago I informed somebody at the ( German ) Lasker Gesellschaft about your drawing, but did not get a reply yet. Normally they are highly interested in activities like this on chess.com, so wait and see...
Than @ varun 0501 : what kind of puzzle do you mean ? Did you choose the wrong forum ? You better replace it where it belongs, although not many people will be interested to see this silly game.
1.e3 is the Van 't Kruys Opening, and Blackburne-Nimzowitsch, St Petersburg 1914, started e3 d6 / f4 e5 / fxe5 dxe5 / Nc3 Bd6. Your e5 is good, but I don't understand h6 and the rest.
@ Winnie_Pooh : nice ! I will try to find more info on this painting ...

How wonderful for someone to add a puzzle to this page!!! It's a great puzzle, too. It starts with 20 possible first moves, and then surprises us with the inferior 1. e3 over 1. e4. Brilliant checkmate, though. I NEVER saw that one before...

Oh, and I love those terrible moves by black! In puzzles one should expect the best moves, and a6 and h6 clearly are superior to any other choice.
Further to post 870 : see design-dautore.com, it is the Umbra Wobble Chess Set, uit het album design for fun. Also the other pictures are nice, see e.g. the guitar and the caramel apple...
