Most excellent Riçk. A gift to be treasured for years to come. Well done sir!

Thank you so much Grandpadave52 !

Playing chess was something I enjoyed years ago. Thought I was pretty good at it, and I taught my son how to play. It wasn't long before he was beating me every game. He got interested in the game and studied Fisher. Wasn't long before he was beating all of his competition. Before he had passed, he had collected several chess sets which were placed throughout the home. His wife has held on to them since his death, Nov 19, 2015.

Nice board and will be appreciated for years to come. I made board and box and turned all the pieces for my grandson. He played two games with me and after losing would not play with me again.

AI B.... I'm sorry to hear you lost your son. I'm happy you have fond memories of him with chess. Cherished memories for sure. Like your son, We almost lost ours in 2013. He's fine now and I taught him how to play chess. He winning more and more and it won't be long before he wins every time. He loves his new chess board.

Wow! Gerald!! Nice build. Have you tried getting him to play recently? He'll come around. 

No he is in college and stays on the phone when he visits. Maybe someday

Gerald ... use your woodworking skills and make him a cell phone case.
