when i go to new york...



I'm heading here...
The Village Chess Shop
I think I'd be too intimidated to actually play anyone but wOw... how cool would that be to check it out??
They've been open since 1972 in the same shop in the middle of Greenwich Village. People play until midnight every day. very cool...
I often day dream about carving my own chess set... It's one of those things I think about. I would make huge pieces that would be as long as the length of my hand and about 2-3 inches in diameter... I'd carve out a hole in the bottom in which to insert a nice weight, so that they're weren't too "light" feeling...
anyway, that's my plan... when I get the time!! :op
