Hey legohaulics! One of my cooler MOCs--my chess set. The pieces were
designed and built by me... and NO MINIFIGS! There’s so many minifig chess
sets out there--it’s getting very old. Here’s a change. Brickshelf thread
is-- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=134535

how the king piece, though wider than the board squares, is designed never to
interfere with another pieces. The Castle and Knight pieces are very, very well
done. And the pawns just rock - simple and exactly the right look!
Thanks for the inspiration, and please don’t take my one criticisim too hard -
small is actually one of the other fine attributes of this set. Though I am
curious if it “plays” well or if pieces are bumped over very easily...
