Novag Citrine Chess Pieces
Well, we just had to re-post this email we received in today about a set of chess pieces we sold to a rather distinguished customer:
“Hi Baron, this is to confirm you that I got the the Enhanced Citrine chess pieces set last Wednesday. It looks very nice and improves a lot the playing experience over my Mephisto Exclusive board equipped with a Revelation Gold Module. Thanks for providing us with new tools to enjoy more and more our chess passion!
Kind regards,
Jesus.”
Chess is evocative of… good company, relaxation, summer days, sophistication, development, skill, and much more. Chess is good for the body and soul. This picture was taken whilst trvelling though Greenwhich in London in late May, and just seemed to capture the essense of good times in good company.
Dear Baron,
I received my order today, just to I’m very pleased with my order,the chess computer is great.
The whole process of dealing with your company has been excellent and will recommend you guys as often as possible.
Once again thank you and look forward to dealing with you again in the future.

Well, chess is used as a metaphor for many things. Here’s a ref to Putin in Russia playing a tactical and aggressive game: NPR on Putin and Chess.
Could it be part of the game they’re playing in Russia to be persecuting harmless people, such as this story: Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia? They seem to think the Watchtower is extremist. Of course, as always, it’s the Russian Orthodox church behind it.
Political commentators love comparing US – Russian relations to the game of chess (read down – not just hungry hippos). Its reputation as the ultimate test of strategic thinking but relative simplicity compared with actual foreign relations makes it perfect for tortured analogies.

A new range of chess sets are brought to you by ChessBaron in the UK – chess sets for the blind or partially sighted chess players. These sets are made in accordance with the Braille chess association – and are in two different sizes: 10″ Square and 13″ Square.
The sets have raised dark squares, dowells in the pieces, holes in the centre of each square, spikes (not too sharp – you’re safe) in the dark pieces to designate their colour and all designed in the required Staunton style, so that they are easily determined by their shape.
Further – the cabinet is of superb quality – a solid sheesham frame with soilid sheesham squares too (no veneer here!). The product is a luxury item.
The ChessBaron Zebra is back in stock. Made from rare material – sculpted by artisans – what a superb finish! The Zebra is a wistful looking product on a very heavy solid marble board, and packaged along with a velvet case. The board and case are all included in the deal – which is less than £100 all-in ($150).

Retailers regularly get emails from people asking for large orders, then writing a cheque for much more than the total and asking for us to quickly return the excess money. Of course, they want us to send the money before the counterfeit cheque bounces.
But this time we thought we’d have a little fun: http://www.chessbaron.co.uk/tables-turned.php. Could the scammer be scammed?
