Never Get Board- how many boards do you have?

I have nine Chess Boards- plus Mini Pieces and a tablecloth.

 

 

Ultra Mini Emergency Pieces- unopened pack of itty bitty pieces in survival kit.

 

Mini Electronic- old RS Kasparov travel computer- doesn't work.

 

Small 4.5” X 4.5” wooden peg board for checkers can use pieces from the RS Mini above.

 

9” X 5.75” X 1” (folded) portable “Pocket” Chess with small magnets.

 

Small Cheap Wooden board- sits on kitchen table, pieces fall all over the place.

 

Chess in a Tin- medium board folds into a fourth as large and fits in a 7” X 7” X 1.5” tin.

 

Two new medium folding boards- one a little bigger, good for the park- I use all the time.

 

RS Kasparov computer- medium board- still works- still can't beat it at 3rd hardest level.

 

One full size wooden board- usually has my last blunder displayed.

 

One large tablecloth of two inch B&W squares- 4 games or 2 Battlechess games (4 boards).

 

I want to buy the Chessnut, but it's a bit pricey. Maybe I can play on my new Smartwatch.

 

A Monk(?) came up with the folding Chess board when they said he couldn't play. It looked like two books on his bookshelf.

 

 

My Battlechess is four boards, three armies each, five Queens each, pawns move two spaces any direction, attack one space any direction. They were getting wiped out too easily. All else the same, some regular rules don't apply here, ie castling. Blind setup anywhere, leaving four squares between the fronts. We never finished a game with the physical board we made. I have developed endless variations on the computer. I should publish the spreadsheet. We could play by email for the next few years. I estimate months at the least, even with fairly rapid moves. It's a real war. And watch out for those Bishops. They really come out of nowhere in this one.

 

 

I'd just like to say, again, how blown away by this site I am. I never had the chance to so easily interact with a crowd of Chess players. Most people could care less. I only have a few Chess playing friends and I haven't seen them since we lost the Pub and then Covid showed up.

 

 

Sorry if I get carried away on here sometimes. Thank you all for being here.

 

 

I'm just a 14 year old trapped in a 65 year old body.
