    Well, what is it?

    My rents insist on getting me a birthday present every year no matter how much financial trouble they are in or how old I get. They missed it this year so they want to give me a late present and I have given up protesting against them so to teach them a lesson I am gonna request something I want that is not TOO expensive but reasonably expensive.

    The list:

    1.Latest version of CT-Art
    2.Triple weighted wooden chess set (staunton)
    3.Some sort of chess book. (probably a tactics book but I really want the Soltis' book on the pawn structure.. but I forgot the name of it.)

    Does it come with all the problems from previous versions? Which version is best? This one?

    Just my opinion, but I'd go for the book. You won't play any better on a pretty wooden set, any more than having a bunch of pretty art around.

    What a foxy spirit; are you a sturdy Souriquois or an Ojibiways warrior? Or you do come from a southern tribe?

    If you're asking me then the answer is that I'm a Blackfoot. If you're asking yourself then I have no clue πŸ˜›

    Oh!
    I am asking you; are you Piegan, Siksika or Blood? From Alberta or Montana?

    Have you stole a horse and killed a Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, Shoshone, Flathead, Kootenai or a Blue Coat, or "tomtom232" is your derogatory name?
