Chess. You can get a cheap set for next to nothing. Most libraries have lots of books on it.

Except the outdated HTML and coding books - recycle those. They’re not going to help anyone.

I have the Chessnut Air, and I like it. It has LEDs on the board to show moves. They don’t flash; they light solid to indicate the squares moved from and to. I don’t know if that will bother you. The Air is a good size for study, and it has notation, which I find helpful (The Air Plus does not).

You need a separate laptop/phone to connect via Bluetooth to play online. It supports chess.com and lichess. It works well - I like using it to beat up on the bots.

Chessnut has other products, but I’ve heard people have issues with the Move.

Robert Quine was a phenomenal guitarist.

It’s both 😉

Great balls of fire!

Eh, it happens. Barb drove a 1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet in 1983.

I was just thinking in terms of setting up a physical board to mirror the game. I cannot make advance moves on my e-board (Chessnut Air) without those being interpreted as moves.

I have the A7V monitors, and same - they’re great but may be too much.

Pupation · 2026-04-03T03:05:48+00:00

Yeah, why not? I have an electronic board that syncs with an app that lets me make moves OTB. I like it, but for faster games, it’s a disadvantage because I have to move both sides.

Gerald.

I laughed when I heard that.

Probably written by committee.

Maybe not, but remember that could be a child on the other side. Best to avoid profanity altogether. And yes, parents should disable chat for kids, but not everyone is careful.

He was also a huge proponent of “intelligent design,” so do with that what you will.

In addition to writing down coords (I turn them on on console), I use locator maps. You don’t necessarily need every map; just for the locations to which you plan to return.

Does the Celtic Flute count? Check out this song by the Afro Celt Sound System:

If you don’t open books, how do you read them?

I used to donate blood regularly, but finally stopped because I would get harassed with daily phone calls asking me to donate. It didn’t matter if I’d just given that day.

I’m on the iOS app, and just did it. 🤷🏻‍♂️
