I wish I had some saved
I know while X-mas shopping I saw my dream set but didn't snap a picture or get the brand/model.
>A wood base with what seemed like marble whites, with a glass on brushed copper for blacks
>Granite pieces
>Miniature "travel" size
>Felt carrying case
>$220 USD
It was painful to have so much WANT for something that is actually within reach BUT wouldn't be a responsible purchase. If I find work soon I'll start putting a small part of my pay every check until I can afford it.

I'm not seeing things weird, the white pieces aren't set up right are they?
Like the bishop and knight are swapped on one side.
>>25680312
Shit, dunno who misplaced the queens. Now I look like a pleb.
>>25680351
>white
I mean uh, grey. Didn't occur to me they're both light shades.
>>25680356
Knights too
>>25680351
Yeah, that and the black queen is wrong.
>>25680312
The lack of real tiles just looks like a headache waiting to happen.
i doubt that this is not an original post
Looks cool but moving piece is annoying
I'd also be open to dope Go/Mahjong sets.
Wouldn't be 4chan without some nip shit.

I used to be a talented amateur when I was a kid. I even taught myself but nobody ever wanted to play so I never bothered to pursue it as a hobby and my ability has only rusted.

Where did it all go wrong?
I've been playing chess on my phone for so long now that on the rare occasion I get to play a game in person I really struggle to read the board
Like I can't see the lines clearly or anything, it's just so clean and easy in 2d
Anyone know this feel?
