8:50 the dumbest sh*t i've ever heard
I think the flat chess pieces are the most error-proof. All pieces are so easily distinguishable and they don't fall over.
0:06 I agree with his reaction lmao we used to play chess with just bottle caps with letters on them and we somehow made it to the ranks back in the days
TL;DR: Whatever you do in life, become a specialist. Cause Craftsmanship is dieing.
u will get check mated in 25 moves
normal chess piece average is 23
Did anyone notice the bizarre way the narrator would drop the t in Staunton? She would say "Staun'on". There was another word as well but I can't be bothered watching again to find out.
Dude. Why aren’t all sets Star Wars sets??
What poo are they trying to sell no chess set can stop the players from making a mistake
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏
6:02 ,you think ?
If the guy who took 5-6 years to learn how to carve a knight had spent the time becoming a decent chess player he would probably be making more money as a chess coach.
Has anyone heard of cnc?
my set was 10$ lol. i also made a set by myself and cant believe they need that long to learn that
You know, you could definitely program a robotic arm to make that knight exactly the same every time… it'd cost stupid money at first, but you don't really need to spend any more after that except on maintenance and tool maintenance.
So nice to know that the reason for losing a game is not because your made the wrong decisions playing the game. But because one piece was not perfectly carved.
Yeah, well, considering I can just 3d print a perfectly symmetrical chess set, it's sad how this kind of technology makes master carvers obsolete; yet it also bolsters how unique a skilled carver is, and it's a talent that I am afraid will die out in a world where people prefer shortcuts that produce results over night instead of developing a skill over a length of time.
Damn he’s good. Is he using a program?
Naaa he just has a better chess set.
Hikaru complains about the quality of furniture dying these days but doesn't own a Championship Chess Set.
I have played with a set where the pawns looked almost identical to the bishops. There were a few mistakes made because of that.
$349 online
10 ppl who can make the knight but 1000 machines
could make these pieces on a CNC lathe with live tooling way faster and way more accurate
Loses a game
Me: It's the chess sets fault
To be fair if you were playing like a minute blitz tournament I guess it could actually effect the game quite a bit, also Hikaru a cm is a big difference lmao, a mm would be a better example
Gotta say, those world championship knights are absolutelly gorgeous
Smart-3D printers will one day watch/consume this video and go: lol hold my beer
I love how he's so oblivious to details of woodworking.
what about the $5 chess set..?
