MY LATEST ADDITIONS
It's been a while since I've restrained myself from buying anymore chess sets, but I could not resist adding a few more this year with good bargains coming past. The Bronstein Set (aka GM2) from HOS was a godsend when I was browsing for a used one in ETSY - with a good USD200 after a 25% discount, it was a no brainer. Bronstein beat Tal in 1968 with the King's Gambit on this set (after which the pieces were christened the "Bronstein" set). The Drueke Player's Choice had a remake from the 2017 version where the Knight was perfected. At the last Black Friday sale by HOS I had to bag this one: Only the 2022 version will beat this one but I don't think I'd spend another USD50 more for it, so this is fine by me. That's it for 2023!
