This has been in my to-watch list for awhile. Considering it’s worth a post from you, I’ll have to make the time :writing_hand:

Given my username, I’ll need to make some chess related things eventually :sweat_smile:

I’ve fancy making chess pieces with each piece representing a member of the family. As I’m not a good digital sculpter I will need a 3d scanner, Christmas present?

I also have a fancy to model and make boxes that look like various well known chocolate bars. But I need to improve my digital sculpting or my viscous fluid simulations or hope for AI to give me a lift.

I can just see the scenario now while playing with my grandson …

Grandson: Hey, Gramps! Look over there! :index_pointing_at_the_viewer:

Very cool from a mechanical aspect but silly for chess. A queen or knight option is all that’s needed. The queen can do everything a bishop or rook can do, in fact that’s how its mobility is defined.
