I invented the future of chess! Looking for investors.

Chess is a pretty good game but it is not flawless and so is continually open to improvement by creative innovators like myself.

Breaking it down - when it's your go it's good.  I've got no problems with the game when it's your own go.  But when it's not your go, well quite frankly, yawn, yawn. 

So with 2 hours on each clock (4 hours in total) you're only really participating and getting chess-playing fun and enjoyment for half of that time.  What a con.  I mean come on!  If the game was invented now it just wouldn't sell at all.

It's only because it was invented in the olden days in India that they got away with it.  There were probably lots of elephants and hyenas and that which you could watch when it was not your go to help pass the time.

But now that all the elephants have died out what are you supposed to do?

Not to worry.  I've invented a solution and chess will never be the same again.

When it's your go - play as normal.

Now the clever bit, when it's their go you hit your wireless remote and a small 3 inch square screen is deployed from your Queen's Crown.  Sit back, relax they can take as long as they like whilst you watch the film of your own choice (Under Milkwood is my personal favourite).  Genius you say? - Thanks.

Obviously I've got a European patent pending and the requisite unofficial nod and wink from Brynmawr Jones from the WCF to allow this in sanctioned tournaments but what I need now is $100,000 to help with further development on the prototype.

With the expert input from Dai "electric" from the Dixons in Aberconwy High Street I am hoping to develop a slimline DVD player into the board and wireless headphones (In testing I found the moaning and groaning from Dai Young's chosen films quite deleterious to my concentration).

The potential market is huge - think bigger than Dai "the Garden"s prize marrow and you're still not close. 

So I am offering the opportunity for careful investors from the chess intelligentsia an once in a lifetime opportunity.  $100,000 for 20% equity in my business.

Any takers?  Otherwise I'm off to Dragon's Den (American Inventor).

You're still supposed to analyse the board when it's not your turn unless you've found these forced moves that will give you an easy win for sure.

In the six game round robin Welsh Masters tournament in Llanfair PG. I used a total of just under 30 minutes with a two hour time control per game and I still won with 5.5/6. 

What a terribly thought out product, It would be extremely easy for people to cheat using it!  How could you overlook this?

P.S. god I love Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantsiliogogogoch, for the name along.

Easy.  It's like the banned drugs list in the Olympics.  The DVD player could be programmed to play only movies from a sanctioned list.  You'll have to do better than that - the prototype has been through an extensive testing programme.

This reminds me of when my cousin wanted to start his chess tournament catering business. How much equity could I get for $20?  

That would never work we all bring our own sandwiches or a carrier bag of coleslaw in my case.

There must be some rich Russian oligarchs on this site surely.

C'mon where are the money men?

 have elephants died out. i don't think so and this product sounds good but if was put onto the selves how much would it cost ?

We encoutered that exact problem in testing. 

The second generation prototype has a mini screen which deploys from the King's mitre.  This ensures that you can watch a film for as long as the games duration.

If you're honest, the 'second generation' is just common sense, isn't it?

However, I see no problem with watching the screen while the queen is off the board.

 Dai "electric" reckons with his contacts in the far east he could knock the full unit out for ~ £100 including wireless remote, headphones and integral DVD.

They made a movie out of Under Milkwood?  I thought it was just a Dylan Thomas radio show.  Are you actually being earnest for once beast?  I mean about the movie, of course.

My father taught me at his knee never to lie and so in his honour everything I write is the gospel truth.

The incomparable Richard Burton did the narration.  The melifluous tones and rich timbre - his voice was pure gold.

 what about the elephants?

 There aren't any in Wales ergo they must have died out.
