For those looking for a set... - 2006/05/18 08:18
I was recently in the market for a set (prior to this point I have played on computer "boards" only. While software certainly has it's place, I always found it rather lacking for trying out ideas from books, etc. It just lacked a tactile "something" such that I spent more time fooling with the interface. I did a bit of shopping around online to find a nice, but also (relatively) inexpensive set. I found that the site redbuzz.com is currently offering the Drueke Tournament set (21x21 board with 2" squares, and 3 3/4, double weighted pieces for only $129 with free shipping. Pretty crazy considering what other sites are charging. Most places I saw want $150 or so + shipping for the set, and thechessstore.com wants $109 for the board and $89 for the pieces. I ordered it last Friday and I just got the set about a half hour ago. Very nice.
The exact item can be found at:

However energetically society in general may strive to make all the citizens equal and alike, the personal pride of each individual will always make him try to escape from the common level, and he will form some inequality somewhere to his own profit.
