How many sets does he own? What’s his most expensive set?
That must be tricky to play blitz with a rare and possibly delicate set.
Jon was nice enuf to supply me with a photograph of an African rook in his collection; a close-up photo he took just for my request.
The photo (cropped) appears in the lower-right on the cover of this FRC-chess960 book .

Or first prize for a strong chess tournament!
Keep practicing Claudia nad you could bring this much home in one week.
Wow. Are they for sale?
thanks little bird, i really believe what you are saying. I receive every word you just spoke. No dream is to big. but $4000 dollars for a set? does it do homework because I sure could use it.

Who won the match?
The picture shows Susan’s side well developed with a Castle in place, however the brave sponsor had yet to defend his King completely.
Any clues?
Playing Blitz with an original Staunton set is like playing Chopsticks on a Bluthner grand.
Recalling the phrase “Mr. Karpov will play White”, I wonder when Mrs. Polgar plays Black.
playing chess blitz games with an antique set , clock ,and board , is great fun. collectors who play , can go back in time and feel like the grand gentlemen/women of olden chess clubs .
the sets are rare ,very well made ,but were played with, so as a collector its simply a must on occasion using my playing sets in such a way .
yes they are costly ,but quality always costs .
