    The potential for fighting and arguments about the game would be so much greater! Excellent! When do they start televising it!? biggrin.gif

    I've played this a couple of times - one of our London-resident guys has a shotglass chess set in his living room which ends up being used if a gang of us pile back there after a night on the beer.

    Last time I played it my opponent collapsed unconscious about halfway through and had to be revived with cold water, and I was very ill for days. Fantastic stuff. I think I won, too. smile.gif

    That being said, by the end we weren't sure whose pieces we were taking... ah well.

    Didn't know there was a gadget shop there, what's it called? And how much was the chess set?

    Going up the henry st. escalator, it should be in front of you on the left. I think it costs around £50, but I'm not sure. Can't remember the exact name, if it's not the gadget shop.

    I bought it in the gadget shop there about a year or so ago. Really great fun ... the really good players get hammered quick, so play crap and let the lesser players catch up wink.gif
