Believe it or not, this one gets the "most play". Not expensive at all, but everyone here seems to like the way it plays, sits, etc. It's just an overall fun set on the board. Never gets boring and none of us know why. Go figure Cool

I loved my liberty set. Just different enough to stand out, and a good weight and size.

They all are very nice!! How interesting we get attached to a specific set despite having many of them !

D2 I have a very similar set back home. My first wooden chess set that I got as a gift for Christmas. Always a joy to play on! But I'm always afraid that the queen's crown is going to break when someone cross-captures the opponent's queen.

This is a standard German Knight except the Black pieces are ebonized and the board is American green-buff vinyl.

I have nicer sets but this is my knock-around wood set. I'd still be using my old plastic Drueke but it's gotten valuable since Drueke broke all the molds.

m_liguori: Beautiful, creamy light!

Nice set, too.

D2,

File under: DEEP THOUGHTS. Smile

Apparently, an upsidedown rook can be a queen, but an upsidedown queen can never be a rook!

I was trying to figure out what an upside-down queen would represent on promotion....

Another king?

I like that set. To me, the color combinations of a set and board make a big difference. I like the blend of that set.

D2 I believe that move is reserved for the king only and only for after dark...

Just goes to show you, chess and alcohol don't mix. Was he exceeding the speed limit?
