Very interesting. Do you know approximately what the shipping cost would be?

Subject: [usbca_chess] set, some pieces donâ?Tt fit
I am doing a chess set busness here in Malaysia. If you are interested, you
can email me to get the cost of a foldable chess set about 1 foot by 1 foot
in measureness. The pieces are made of plasic and has a good grip onto the
board. When its folded, it comes up into a little portable component which
can be carried in your bags just around anywhere. When its folded, it would
look like around 1 foot by 6 inches in measurements. There's a clip on the
outside which would hold the folded pieces together tightly. You can plce
all the pieces inside the board and is convenient. Cost is only US50
dollars.
With Warm Regards,

Subject: [usbca_chess] Re: [usbca_chess] Hadley chess set, some
pieces donâ?Tt fit
when I've had the problem of pieces being to loose compared to
the average piece then I resort to varnishing the affected pieces
peg until the pegs new thickness means the piece will stick in
tighter. Sometimes I've had to varnish a pieces peg several
times to thicken the peg to make a snug fit.
Now if the hole is too big compared to the average piece then I
tackle this by using a matchstick dipped into some wood glue
which I then carefully insert into the affected hole and then
wiggle which tends to leave a slight residue behind. If this
process is repeated you can effectively make the hole snugger.
Of course what often happens is that the hole gets to tight or
blocked and then you need to use a rodd or drill bit of
theapproximate diameter or slightly smaller size of the average
peg size you require to open out the hole again so the piece will
fit snuggly.
I'm afraid the above procedure does take a lot of patience and
trial and error but does work.
I have many chess boards where I've had to use the above
procedures. I like to be able to hold my chess boards upside
down without pieces falling out as I really like pieces to fit
snuggly. Sometimes if all pieces are very loose then the chess
board can be very noisy wehn the board is being examined by the
visually impaired chess player.
There is also another procedure for mending snapped pegs but that
is considerably much more complicated!
Mark.

Hi,
I have a chess set from Hadley. It's about ten years old. There
has never been a snug fit between some of the board's holes and
some of the pieces. In some cases, the holes are too big -- no
piece fits snugly. In other cases, the base of some pieces are
too small -- these pieces don't fit snugly into any hole.
I haven't tried filling in the "too large" holes. I've tried
wrapping tape around the base of the "too small" pieces, but the
tape doesn't stick for very long.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.
It's one of the main reasons I keep losing interest in chess.
Thanks,
Dan
