November 12, 2025Nov 12 Author ChessBaron has 4 online stores, UK, USA, Canada, and Amazon.UK I ordered another set a month ago, USA store: No sales tax, no shipping costs. Price shown is the total complete. 2 color choices: https://www.chessbaron.com/product/BC2024/ https://www.chessbaron.com/product/BC3024/ More pictures here: https://www.berkeley-chess.com/product/bc2024-cats-and-dogs-red/ The LEGO Star Wars chess set was much cheaper, but is a one of a kind set made by an individual, I'm guessing from several different LEGO packaged Star Wars sets.

November 13, 2025Nov 13 Author Another one ChessBaron has is the Berkeley Shakespeare (not the Studio Anne Carlton one). Berkeley Shakespeare: King : Richard III Henry VIII Queen: Cleopatra Lady Macbeth Bishop: Shylock Cardinal Wolsey Knight: Hamlet Bottom Rook: Globe Theatre Elsinore Pawn: Soldiers Soldiers (Elsinore is the castle on the Danish border and the scene of Hamlet) I would say the left hand column are all less evil than the other team on the right.

Earlier that morning I asked my wife what she thought about getting our son a chess set for Christmas. "But we already have a chess set." (She'd just woke up, obviously) It's dogs versus cats. "I'll think about it." Showed her the pictures later and she fell in love with them, just like I did. Maybe this will make up for the fact that when I was stationed in Germany and visited Oberammergau (famous for wood carvings) I didn't think to look for a chess set. Just got a small wooden doggie. 1 hour ago, Fielder said: What if the pet cats get interested in the set while we are playing I had a cat lay down on the empty area in the middle of a large chessboard with the pieces set up. My wife went to grab the camera, and the cat started to get up. "No, no! Stay there. I'm gonna take your picture!" He did! 😄 Smart cat, he knew what was going on. Never had a cat problem with any game I had set up. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

November 18, 2025Nov 18 Author From Amazon UK, a very cheap price for top of the line Studio Anne Carlton chess set. These hand colored ones are suggested retail price without a board at 750 pounds sterling and 375 for uncolored. But they sell for about 25% less than that from stores online. This one has a board (the seller says board too is probably also Studio Anne Carlton which would raise price even higher. This set is for sure the SAC product ID number A140P "Kings and Queens (Tudor)", and was discontinued about 30 years ago. Seller says the pieces are in perfect condition. Lots of great pictures. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167840954054 I can verify from old SAC brochures that the King is Henry VIII, Queen is Elizabeth I, Bishops are Thomas Cranmer (Henry VIII reign), and rook is top of the Tower of London. I can't verify who the Knight is because my SAC doc image doesn't say, but looking at the piece it is almost certainly Sir Walter Raleigh (Elizabeth I reign). 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

November 19, 2025Nov 19 Just got a UPS email notification. "Label created, United Kingdom, 11/18/2025 about 2:45 PM" UPS email notification says, "Estimated Delivery Date: Thursday, 11/20/2025" UPS site doesn't mention a delivery date. Hm.
