Invaluable piece of study equipment

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, and I'm sure it's probably been discussed here before, but I just recently thought of a great piece of equipment to add to my study of chess - the Lazy Susan!

Many books and courses of study suggest you carefully study both sides of a position.  So you either get up and move, or you move the board.  I bought a nice quality Lazy Susan (although a cheap one would suffice) and put my board on top of it. 

I cut two little pieces of foam into angled wedges to put under to keep the board from spinning for regular play.  But when I'm alone studying, the foam pieces come out and now I can easily and quickly spin the board and study the position from both sides as I make moves.

I'm a little slow coming to the party, but I eventually get there.  If you study a lot, try this out.  It works great!

Great idea - presumably you soon learn don't spin the board too quickly!

Not a bad idea. I have a wooden board and I put those little felt buttons on the bottom to make it easy to slide around on my desk for analysis.

Yes, you must be careful not to spin the board TOO quickly or a quick physics demonstration in centrifical force will occur!  I bought the smoothest Lazy Susan I could find with excellent bearings and the set just glides around.  I can't believe how good this works.  Try it!
