It's been a while since I played chess. I managed to qualify for the UK national championship first round from my school when I was 11 years old. I fancied my chances after wiping the floor with the schmucks in my school.
How quickly that changed when I was at the Nationals... I got destroyed in the 8 games played haha! Some seriously talented people there, using the text book manoeuvres, probably had me beaten before I even sat down at the table... Bubble burst, never played since 🤣
That does look like a lovely chess set though. Better than cheap plastic ones I learned the game with!
