DrHanser 2002-11-10 18:21:52 | So I've been lusting over chessboards lately. Ideally, I cobalt blue pieces for black, and either clear or frosted glass for white, with a glass playing board. I saw some on yahoo stores that fit perfectly what I wanted, unfortunately it was ~$70. Being a poor college kid, I can't really afford that. So I was at Kohl's today buying some warmup pants, and I came across chess boards. Glass ones. On Clearance for $13. ![]() I couldn't resist, though it wasn't exactly what I wanted. This is what I got, though my playing surface is a tad nicer: ![]() Now I just need someone to play with. ![]() -- The mark of an educated man is one who knows a lot about something, and a little about everything. |

"As every 11-year-old kid knows, if you concentrate enough Van-der-Graff generators and expensive special effects in one place, you create a spiral space-time whirly thing, AND an interesting plotline" |
[DPC] Jive 2002-11-19 04:50:44 | Chess for quick-thinkers needs training ... I always was too impatient & too annoyed with lack of opponent-speed to get serious into chess. And the basic indecision about what moves to make and such, coz i was always thinking too far ahead on a strategy without changing that strategy against my opponents strategy. Guess i'm not the only one around who's too smart & impatient to play tha game. |
