Impressive handiwork. But in the top photo looks to me like the white king & queen are swapped - either that or he is wearing a dress!

Me too!

Perhaps your next version could avoid the overhanging board edge and fold so that SWMBO can tuck it into a suitable bookshelf:-)

A beautiful job John, I particularly like that you have left enough thickness in the deck to allow it to be re-surfaced when it wears :-)

I thought it would look better if I slapped the pieces on their for the photo... it was only later I wondered if I had set them out correctly! That kind of answers the question.

I try to deliberately make the book shelves narrow enough that SWMBO can't add "clutter" in front of the books... that ought to work for chess boards as well (especially 19" square ones) ;-)
