I play both sides!

I had them stored away for many years as I did not have time to play chess. Now they are on display and I am trying to find more time to play. I actually have acquired many more sets since the video was made, so should du a sequel.

It starts with one, then suddenly you have more...way more!

as a veterinarian, I can tell you that some dogs are very smart!

Thanks, Antonio. I’m doing Part 2 soon.

Definitely port is involved! I usually only make one or two moves at a time, then indicate which side's turn it is. That way I can review the board when I return to continue the game and decide upon the best move for each side, with out bias.

@@nicksaint-erne so you play against yourself? How do you keep your other self from knowing your secret strategy? I would guess you often end up with a Draw.

@@katoexo5753 By only making one or two moves at a time, then walking away, I have to analyze the positions when I return and play the best move for the side whose turn it is.

That set was made in Mexico. I have several more chess sets now so am working on a Part 2 video.

Whenever I can!

@@nicksaint-erne Well u should be but i played chess in a computer just a bit (not trained btw) because this is hard for a checkmate win

@@nicksaint-erne And btw does the philippine chess pieces comes with a board?

@@waylandquiaoit3871 It came in a wooden folding chess board that holds the pieces, but I don’t think that was originally with the horn chess pieces.

@@nicksaint-erne Oh

Thank you!

Thank you! See my poem about the Opera chess game. I would love to go to Egypt some day. Went to South Africa last December and bought a chess set with carved wooden animals. Lion and Lioness as King and Queen. 😊

Thank you! A little at a time… I did not intend to become a collector, but started buying sets I saw when I traveled.

I bought that set in Galle, Sri Lanka. Love the cobra pawns.

Yes, hard boil and peel the egg first.

It’s actually quite tasty when cooked. Can be mixed in to a salad raw as well.

Hi Alfred. Those pieces are made of onyx stone and are hand carved in an Aztec motif. They are made in studios of Herrera Montiel in Puebla, Mexico. The set typically sells for around $150. They are fairly common in the USA from tourist bringing them home. There are often sets or boards available for sale. The pieces will break if dropped, so some sets have broken pieces or board. Look at Facebook Marketplace and search Onyx chess board and see what you find. Good luck. Those are special pieces, as yours, like mine, were from a parent.

I have one TicTacToe board I made in Cub Scouts!😆 it has felt X and Os that cling to a felt game board. Did you ever make copies of your sets using the moulds?

A little at a time! I started when I was young and bought what I could afford at the time. As I got older, I was able to get better chess sets, but my older ones are still my favorites.

@@nicksaint-erne Yes! Thank you! 💙 , I have 4 chess set and 2 of them was lost in time 🤣 , but i have the magnetic chess to use when im in school and also i buyed a torunament set !

Thanks!

I have some new set, so will make a second video of those soon. 😊

Good point!
