If you were given $50 and had to spend it on a chess product, what would it be?

I would probably buy a demo board and use it for games with my friends.

Two hours with a chess coach

Is Keira Knightley a chess product? =D

I would do the same as Tal, chess coach for a small period.

Good American beer.

Not exactly chessy, but I'd use it to buy wide shelving.

I keep buying chess sets, chess ornaments etc but I have nowhere to put them all, they're all different sizes and at the moment I just don't have the space to have them all out on show when they aren't in use. I have a fairly large procelain ornament of two 18th century figures sat at a table playing chess but its too wide for my current shelves.

Definately a chess coach.

I actually predict that Aronian will come in third, behind Kramnik and Topalov. But that's just my own intuitive prediction.

You're supposed to say a chess.com annual membership....

Right now I'd get another plastic set, an Endgame book, and/or Polgar 5334.

My local strip club has a chess board like stage (black/white squares). An evening there.

By my calculations, after cover charge and a drink $50 will last you exactly 6 minutes.

I am betting that you could buy some decent lumber, screws and or zip-its, angle brackets, and some paint or wood finish, for no more than $50 ....

You could custom build a set shelves where ever you'd like to put them...
