    Why... oh why... does EVERY frickin' picture of a chessboard have it set up wrong? A white square should be in the right hand corner for each player, not the left.

    @EldonTexodus: If it's every picture, have you ever pondered that perhaps YOU'RE dyslexic?

    Very cool to look at, but most likely very impractical. I doubt you can touch those tubes to move them when they warm up. Unless they don't get as hot as tubes in tube amps.

    @bucho54: Yeah, that's the reason the Corn-baller chess set never caught on.

    Can they randomly light up so you can play whack-a-mole with it since chess sucks?

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher:


    aww...were you that kid who always played checkers because all those different moves were confusing? :)


    I'm not a chess snob by any means, but with a decent opponent, chess is a great game.

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher: Don't let these chess fanboys get you down. They'll never appreciate the subtle awesomeness of Connect Four.

    @DefineStatutory: You people have no sense of humor.


    But anyway, if there was StarCraft 500 years ago, do you think people would have bothered to invent chess?

    Can the next one have Nixie tubes instead of vacuum tubes? I like them more.
