Subject: Re: Sets and the pieces BIG BAD WOLF

Grand Chess already has the pieces designed and made.

I suppose you could order the set from them and cover up two of the rows to the board from 10 X 10 to 8 X 10. I like the design and names of the Marshall and Cardinal, which correspond to the Chancellor and Archbishop. You could just use the pieces from the set on an 8 X 10 board also. I wonder what Ed's design looks like?
Ordering information:

No
$49 for the set seems like a reasonable price for the quality of the pieces. The board is another $39. I think I still might make one myself and just order the chess set.
