Thought accessories. An "Indian" (India) tobacco and an Indian game. Practicing a round alone? Don't want to boot your PC?
This is a portable, pocket, magnetic chess set. It folds in the center to store all the tiny pieces like a small box. The tiny pieces have magnets at the bottom and they stick to the board, so it is essential for a game where the positions are the critical part of the game. Its the only one I ever use and it is the best. Not just for home or at a cafe - take it with you on long train journeys, put it in your pouch during bike rides, carry it like a small pocketbook that is as worthy an exercise as any book. Cost: Rupees 25 (One USD = Rupees 49). Priceless stuff Made in China. LOL.
Tomorrow I will photograph it in closed form with the wonderful software I have to improve and learn the intricacies of chess.
Chess is a sea in which a gnat may drink and an elephant may bathe - Indian proverb!!
