Joking aside ref the chess collection i think I speak for everyone why dont you place them on eBay if there worth as much as that and send the money direct to Richards Wish.

That's certainly what I would ask you to do if I was to win x

I agree with you there bud, I don't think they will reach their full potential in this draw, let's see what @imago thinks, what do you say Larry; would you be happy to sell independently and donate?

I’m thinking of making a donation but I want it to be something that’s useful maybe some dust sheets or roll of carpet protector something that is mundane but useful, any preference to either of them or shall I keep thinking?

I know it sounds bad, but I genuinely have neither the time nor patience to deal with eBay.

If you want to separate it into another draw on the forum, or stick it on eBay, or just let it run on this it's all good with me.

I'll leave it out of the draw and see if can do something different, I'll see what general opinion is
 
Just to clarify the sexy chess board will not be included in this draw, it was only donated late in the day so hoping it won't be an issue

"Rare cold cast in marble then given an antique ivory and mahogany finish.
Less than a hundred have been made."

Well if that's true it's a desirable collectors item. @Olican you may want to have a separate draw for such a treasure. A £10:00 donation to gain entry, then the best photo recreation of one of the poses by the entrant (and volunteer) wins. :LOL:

Sorry mucker. You thought you were doing a nice simple raffle to raise money for a good cause, then I came along and complicated it for you. :(

I'll make sure to PM you before I come up with any weird sh1t for the next one. :LOL:

I might do trans pennine East to West next year for charity . I.m not really a charitable person but can use it as a excuse to get out on bike
 
imago said:
Yeah, mostly online although I also play old school correspondence chess by post. Me being me, I also go a step further (because I'm a tw4t) and seal each letter with sealing wax and emboss it with a stamp. :LOL:

I was captain of our school chess club, I started a speed chess tournament but it was scrapped after a fight broke out in the quarter finals

You could use that as the competition. All the chess players on here join https://www.chess.com/ or the better one (IMHO) https://lichess.org/, set up a tournament with say a £10 donation for entry and the winner gets the set? Obviously you and I couldn't enter but it'd be a bit of fun and competition. Or you could expand it to be chess, then that pool thing, online darts etc. drop the entry price to a fiver across a few games?

I suppose we could skip all that and just go for the fight option? :LOL:

I don' get the castling move or might be called rooking when you can switch a piece with ye rook

You can swap the king rook position (left or right) as long as the king doesn't go into, or through a check. The king has greater protection, and the rooks are a more powerful force when they're together.

This is the lichess training bit on it. https://lichess.org/learn#/14
 
Could you possibly put my Mrs up as a prize for the raffle? She's not much of a prize winning cow, but I'm sure she's happy to ruin anyone elses life 24/7
