Have hundreds of chess books...most of them out of date.
Have several chess sets but use only one, (Staunton design).
Own a really ornate chess set given to them by a relative, that is never used.

I don't own an ornate chess set.

My chess future doesn't look good.

When I had the idea for this thread, I knew immediately that someone- like Bigbaddog- would jump in with the "engine" comment. You beat him to it--good for you !

Out of date chess books are the best... none of that meaningless percentage-of-a-pawn computer "analysis", it's all honest, hand-written, hand-explained human strategy.

My first chess set was sent to me from my brother when he was in 'Nam. Still have it somewhere. I also don't eat quiche!

I don't remember saying that.... 😉

Agree though with blunderdog-make your own moves.

Does this mean there will be no more threads slamming non-'real' chess players?

Because elitism, especially when not justified, does not inspire many people to 'get along'.

I can't help it. Not all of us are crazy enough to sack a bunch of pieces for the faint hope of mate. 😠
