Charles,
I figured this out. You can pay by card if you do not have PayPal. Those
graphics probably show different cards.

When I select the magnetic set and go to buy it, my basket shows up correctly.
However, below, there are 3 graphics. They are:
Pay by Card
Pay by Card
Pay by Card
and none of them function. Any thoughts on how to buy using a card are
appreciated.
If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!

Hi,
It looks like the magnetic set is on sail for a nice price. Here is the
direct link.

Hi Charles,
Yes, the pieces are Staunton design. Kings and queens might be as much as 3
inches, the rest of the pieces are, of course, shorter. I wouldn't call them
small, though. I recommend you check out www.chessbaron.com for a look. He
has ten-inch and 13-inch boards. He also has magnetic, now, that apparently
will hold up to handling. Baron Turner is the fellow who has the business.
He's been working closely with the BCA to QC his sets. We, The USBCA, bought
four sets from him last year to present to the Florida School for the Deaf
and Blind. They had a nice little group of kids learning chess, one of whom
came to the tournament last year. They are extremely nice sets. I haven't
looked at his site lately to see what his prices are these days, but, for
the quality, his prices were not bad at all. I highly recommend them. Check
them out.

Subject: [usbca_chess] chess set questions - Re: Board arrived
What is the board size? How large are the pieces? Are they of the Staunton
design? In other words, are the Knights shaped like a horse's head? And
how are the colors of the pieces and squares indicated? Lastly, what was
the cost of the set? Thanks.
If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!

Subject: [usbca_chess] Board arrived
The board I ordered from Chess Baron got here today. So I can now do the
official thing. It looks like the magnetic bits are extremely sticky, so
I'll probably do a similar arrangement for the other board then. But I don't
see any obvious problems with the design currently. I just figured I'd write
and let everyone know that the board got here, so if you need an extra,
they're still shipping.
