your weird
so maybe im weird,joeyson,never claimed i wasnt...
i printed out a chess board and played with the cut of pieces so i could play with my friend via text on the cell phone.. this was before my office had internet...
I have a twin brother and all through school we used to have similar classes and times. Many a time he's remembered or I've remembered a position, had no board, and indeed drew a chessboard and cut squares of paper labeled: p, R, Kt, B, K, Q to play chess
I played with salt and pepper shakers on a restaurant's checkered table cloth just recently. I really need an inexpensive travel set...obviously.
In di that once...I was in school and I was ssooooo bored.
cant say ive ever done that but in an amusement park I once moved some giant plactic pieces around a giant chess board
In Solzhenitsyn's book "The First Circle," two prisoners pass the time by playing chess, without a board, entirely from memory. As this book is based on his experiences in Stalin's labour camps, I imagine it was something he had often seen done. I know I couldn't play that way.
"In Solzhenitsyn's book "The First Circle,""
That was a great book
I used to work on a psych ward and they never had a full set of pieces - inverted empty pill bottles always made for good rooks but the most dreadful piece was the queen who was made from a white-out bottle and for a face we cut out a picture of our supervisor - that was one ugly queen.
thanks for the idea
WHATS THE STRANGEST THINGS YOU HAVE USED TO PLAY A GAME OF CHESS,EVER HAD TO MAKE YOUR OWN OUT OF COINS OR CIGARETTE BUTTS...
