Maybe playing all the time on a computer screen has made me nostalgic for the heft and beauty of real chess pieces.  I have started to collect sets made by the William F. Drueke & Co., which was the first company commercially to manufacture chess sets in America.  They began in 1914 when America's source of sets was cut off by World War I, and they produced tens of thousands of sets by 1991 when they were purchased by the Carrom Co.  Bobby Fischer liked playing on Drueke's "Players Choice" sets.    In the last four years I have collectede  enough Drueke sets to illustrate a century of their chess output.  This I have presented in a blog entitled "William F. Drueke Chess Sets." https://www.chess.com/blog/BruceHedman/william-f-drueke-chess-sets  ...

I'm a former professional player. I achieved FIDE Master title and best ELO rating 2336 in july 2002. I am chess coach since 1995, and I obtained FIDE Trainer title in 2016 in Prague.

Who am I, well, I guess I'm just a fellow human. Writer. Chess lover. It's may 2018 and I've been playing chess for four months.   Every now and then a new post is up at Jackie's blog.

Eu crio e adapto tabuleiros personalizados para o chess.com. Meu blog se chama ChessSkins. Criei o apelido 'Agiota_do_Artenio' para parodiar um fã do GM Supi chamado 'Agiota_do_Supi', mas com um detalhe, estavam surgindo vários apelidos que homenageavam donos de canais da Twitch mas eu quis homenagear um moderador que estava em todos os canais e era uma das figuras mais ativas no chat, sempre fazendo todos rirem com seus comentários ácidos. Além disso, me recebeu muito bem e ajudou a divulgar meus tabuleiros, ele é conhecido como "Artenio_Felix". É isso, tá ai a história do nome. 😄 Valeu, pessoal. Além do chess.com você pode encontrar algumas publicações minhas em userstyles.world

Former 2-Time #1 Ranked Chess.com Top-Blogger! (Back in 2010 & 2011, when Top Bloggers actually had a ranking system.)   Member of The Chess Journalists of America.   My group:   Co-Creator and Super Admin/News Reporter of The Official Chess.com/TV Group now simply called Chess.comTV   Now, a quote or two:   "Chess is art. Chess is sport. But it's also war. You have to master on the order of a hundred thousand different chess ideas and concepts, patterns of pawns and pieces. That takes work. And you're going to lose a lot of games in the process, so you'll have to be able to make your peace with that, which isn't easy. Because there's no luck involved in the game, you have to face the fact that you lost because your opponent outwitted you." -- Bruce Pan...
