Anyone know any websites or dealers that I could possibly contact and get a replacement queen for a handmade stone set that I have? My fiance bought it for me while she was in Cancun and didnt realze that the guy that sold it to her was giving her 3 rooks on one side, instead of 2 rooks and a queen...

Any ideas?

Sounds like a one of kind set maybe?? Any artisans in your area that might be able to copy from the black queen.

In the mean time it must get confusing when you castle πŸ™‚

hope you find a solution!

Thanks for at least responding Rooms. πŸ˜€

I really dont even know where to look to get this done... I dont think there are specific shops around that would make it, seems kind of like a specialty

It does get confusing to say the least "Which rook was the queen?" "Umm... that one, oh look at that you're in check." πŸ˜‰

A bit of blu-tak and an M'nM or smartie should do the trick!

Many years ago, before they became illegal, I got an ivory chess set. I still have it, but don't use it because I don't want to chip it. Anybody have an idea of its worth? Kirk

Another thought.....that's 2 this month ..........why not take a photo (digital or scanned) of your chess set and post some place appropriately....you never know, someone might see it and say "Hey, that's a chess set like I bought at Walmart. How come he got 3 rooks and I got 1 rook and 2 queens ???"
