    $300? I don't mind the occasional game of chess, but I'd spend the money on a case of live ammo before buying something like that.

            Brass can only be safely reused a finite number of times...

            Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

                    Sounds like a loaded question to me. It looks like we're gonna have to muzzle you before barrel in here you breach birth another utterance. So, before shooting off your mouth again, take stock in your current situation before you bolt in here with something new. I'm not really in a rifling mood, so I would advise you to pick up a magazine and think about it before saying anything else.

                        You can go ahead and "hope" all you want. However, don't "expect" to be successful.

                          For $300 I'd expect at least one or two of the pieces to be approximately in the centre of their bases.

                                John, you seem to be the target of a low caliber of responses. Some people have a lot of brass. What a chamber of horrors. What have you done to trigger this behavior? Past actions on your part? People should scope out the subject matter of their responses before putting you in their sights. We should hammer this point home. Let this be the bulletin. You should be let alone to post in safety, before someone gets their butt-stock in a sling.

                                WE ARE DYSLEXIC OF BORG. Refutance is systile. Your a$$ will be laminated. There are 10 kinds of people in the world: People who know binary and people who don't.

                                    For $300, I'd expect to be able to use them in an emergency.

                                        Ah, I didn't mean for crossing you. I meant because they didn't see the value in a chess shot that was also usable ammo, just in case. My yes John, I will stay off your lawn.
