Kinda neat: Casual chess as wall art

Sort:
DeepGreene

It's not as high-tech as the other chess-as-art effort I posted about, but this site offers a variety of boards and sets that hang on the wall.  I think it's a nifty idea.

Whoa! That's freakin brilliant! Are those little piece stands so you can wall mount positions?????

WANT.

I WANT 10.

/Dear Santa... now we both know I haven't been the best boy this year what with that arson at the old folks home and all, but I really need 10 of this thing DeepGreene is showing to me, okay?

AbFab, seriously!!! Give that man/woman a raise that made those puppies! At least I'd be able to hang pieces in style Smile

Oh that's freakin' sexy!!!  That's so cool.

Here ya go,

And I like the fact the pieces can be played to assume the position. Something to think about as you walk past. Or to brag about when a friend comes to visit;  "This is how I I hung him out to dry!"

Rael

Well, comeon, I'd pick some different styles and all. The website offers quite a range of heavenly goodies.

Ah, but I have over-exerted myself, and must retire to the boudoire for some chardonnay, Coltrane and cheesies.

This image of a squirrel will have to act as my spokesman in the interim, for I feel only the blurred eagerness of its outstreched arms as it yearns for the peanut held before it can in any way approximate the longing I possess for these masterpieces of ornate craftsmanship on display in the afformentioned jpegs.

Such is my lust that I have had Jeeves create printed faximilies of these wall-mounted chess aphrodites which I shall abscond to my bedchambers with, therewithin to gaze into their pixillated ink representations and imagine a more... sensual future.
