#artnouveau #chessboard I made a few decades back for a friend of a friend in London. A form of #woodworking that is a bit different. MDF bas and cork underside. Was pleased with the corners.

Fidelity International's "The Classic", an electronic chess set from 1985. Sporting "32K of chess software", the Classic had advanced features like "thinking on opponent's time", castling, and taking back up to two moves. A #chess board older than me, found in a #goodwill for $5.
