    1x1 and 2x2 chess sets —Todd Lehman
    All this talk lately about L3P and how easy it is to use finally convinced me to check it out... And WOW! I gotta say, Lars Hassing has created a truly amazing piece of work!

     Looks Great Todd!! and I like how you did those chess pieces! Yes I have to admit, L3P is a great prg! Lars did a good job on it! I like the fact that you don't have to have the piece in the .inc files to use pov with it, you can use all the parts (...) (25 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)
