oh yah I get 50 ratings points for every set I buy
I really want a DGT timeless set of pieces - I think I can buy the pieces separately without the board - - I just like the smaller squat size of the pieces - I don't know what to say except it's aesthetically pleasing - I think Games By James sells a similar set called "French Staunton"
I may buy a 90 buck set that's similar with a foldup board from wholesale chess - may get out of a mortgage payment this month after refinancing
I like Rockfish's set too - almost bought the NY 1929 staunton set from HOS that had the same board (I think it was a copy of the NY1929 set) - anyways..down the line maybe
remember reading about this - did u guys know half the cost/effort of a chess set is in the Knights? - that's where all the handcarving goes
