feeding the fabuloso friday...

Since there is a tie in the consolation prize, I think you should break it, which means a chess board it is! arc

The chess set I suggested is only $12.99. We may be able to do both.bobby_macrap at me

I can't imagine us paying more than $20 for a shirt, so if we do get all the pledged money we can probably afford a nicer chess set. We should probably gather a few options. M4cfr34k

:*That's fine. There are already at least three options on the consolation prize page under 'chess set.' I'll get the best one we can afford and if you really want to explore this...you can probably make a page and get some more feedback on it.bobby_macrap at me

  • SomeJeff started the Which Set? section below to help decide this.bobby_macrap at me

Paying for Ze's Gift(s)

I'll accept money at my Paypal address and snail mailbox until midnight Eastern time, Friday August 25th. Whatever I have collected at that point I'll use to buy the gifts we decided on (currently the designed t-shirt and the chess board).

One of the easiest ways is through Paypal. If you don't have an account you can sign up at [Paypal.com]. It's free to send money and you can send it to the following email address:

Which Set?

Magnetic with drawers

This magnetic set with drawers is, by far, the best one I've owned. It has the following features:

  • just under 1'x1' (big enough to play, small enough to carry around)
  • magnetic pieces (so when you move from the one place to another, you don't lose your game)
  • two drawers that you must open at the same time (I never lost a piece yet)

The set is from germany, It's worth looking for a local distributor (or I can get it) Somejeff 14:24, 21 August 2006 (PDT)

Triple weighted plastic tournament set

From House of Staunton

  • nice, big usable pieces. But if we get enough ($90) we could get him a Boxwood and Rosewood set from House of Staunton
