I had a dream one night that I was literally ā€˜inā€™ a Game of Chess. I was the Man who would be King. Sadly, my Queen told me to stay out of the game. She warned me that if I played, the Knights would Rook me and Pawn my stuff. I asked my friend ā€˜Bishopā€™ for advice. But he told me he was too Board to get involved. I was surprised that Bishop declined to offer better advice. He almost always seems to ā€˜have an angleā€™. To me, there are just too many Squares in the Game. Anyway, back to the Castle. Chess is just not the Game for me because unfortunately, I have a very Checkered past. ---

I remember a really brief Chess phase, was in high school when I first learned. Weā€™d play in class on our down time playing the winner. There was one day the teacher got upset when some class members were acting up (we had a surge of newcomers that arrived mid year that made it bad for the rest of us). We had the Chess board privileges revoked briefly. I remember us playing ā€œpaper chessā€ with some binder paper and hand-written names of the pieces. Havenā€™t played in a while as I was never any good at it. Recently gave it a spin again on the ā€œClubhouse Gamesā€ on the Nintendo Switch. While itā€™s just a Chess game, it looks visually beautiful on the Switch. ---

I enjoy chess and bought a couple decent chess sets direct from India. The only person I know that plays is my great-nephew. We have not played since he went off to college. I was a member of [chess.com](http://chess.com) years ago. Donā€™t remember my name. I donā€™t really enjoy chess on computer or iPad. ---

When I was a in 9th grade I was a member of Key Club. It is a volunteer service organization. My brother was in 12th grade and also a member. Our club was attending the Key Club convention in Sacramento CA. A chess tournament was one of the events of the convention. I was talked into entering the tournament so that our club would at least have an entry. I am a casual player and had never played in a tournament. I played the first game of the tournament. My opponent checkmated me in about five moves, and I was eliminated from the tournament. As it turned out my opponent was the winner of the tournament and had won many other tournaments. I had no chance. I still enjoy playing and watching others play. I enjoy playing against computers or electronic devices. There is nothing like playing a human and real pieces on a board. ---

Oh man i love chess. I decided to make a whole set using only hand tools. I have all the wood for the pieces but still deciding what to use for the board. I will carve all the pieces by hand. The pieces will be made from ebony for the dark pieces and pink ivory for the light piecesā€¦ i would like to use the traditional boxwood for the light pieces but i was concerned about the weight differences. Also i dont want to use a normal finish on the pieces, just wax on a buffing wheel.
