Chainmail Chess Set

If you’re going to play a medieval game, why not do it in a medieval style? David Gutenkauf, a craftsman who specializes in the creation of chainmail, made this chess set of linked steel. The board is 1 foot wide. Each piece is wrapped around a glass marble. The king pieces are about 2 inches tall. The chainmail gives your pieces a +5 armor bonus, but beware of movement penalties due to encumbrance rules.

Hello, David Gutenkauf again, the maker of this chess set. I see my comment offering a coupon was removed, and the account that posted it was disabled. Do you not like me offering a coupon, or were you concerned if I am the actual Etsy shop owner?

Okay - this one has to be urban legend. When I read it, in order for the points to be facing up, wouldn't he have to have been trying to pick his teeth with the handle end?
