Generally speaking, i really don't like sets that stray too far from a standard set. However! I just stumbled on this and it looks really nice! 😀

Oh No.

Imagine playing blitz chess on that set - all the pieces would
be wobbling like a plate spinning act at a circus.

I posted this in General the other day. It's a chess set to make out of paper/card, but I would suggest weighting the pieces with something!

A very funny chess set, not very usable, but funny...

However, look at the picture and assess the position. Who has the better play? White or black?

The person who set up that position must have wobbled in from the pub just prior to the photo being taken. 😵
