Re: Your Chess Gear Pics

I just got a board for the set I bought which reminded me of a DGT set (squat pieces - looks similar to yours Gorgonan)

actual square size is 1 5/8" so the pieces are almost perfect for it - I could see this becoming my analysis set - just played thru a Giucco Piano game on it tonight

Re: Your Chess Gear Pics

roll-up green vinyl board and matte finish USCF cheapo set, all I ever want or need.

I wouldn't mind a digital clock though.

cheap too - I think $30 for the board and $30 for the pieces

found the link for the pieces - (out of stock) - I just hate tall skinny pawns

Re: Your Chess Gear Pics

I couldn't let it go - I wanted a green board too



but now that I look at it I think i need more ebonizied pieces for it and not that golden rosewood color - fortunately it will be cheaper cause they are only 1.75 inch squares
