It has always seemed to me that there are bounties of two things in life: jackets or jumpers with hoods, forming an article of clothing known as a 'hoodie' and moments in time where you are left twiddling your thumbs in boredom with your partner, friend, relative, at various places with not much to
do (airport delays are a very good example).
Hoods, coincidentally make a very good place to put small objects if you felt so inclined and were sure that you had no need for the hood, and chess is a good time killer.
Therefore I introduce Chess Hoodies, hoods that can come separate or with a jumper, that can be removed so as that when folded up, form a miniturised chess board, and a small zip compartment provides little chess or checkers peices.
Next up: Snakes and ladders versions. (or a Chess Hoodie with felt snakes and ladders to be added before the game.)

+ for anything with a hood on it, but
particularly for a good idea like this is. |
|
| |
Well, they might check it out. |

I once got a chess piece stuck in my hand. They are weapons, people. |
|
| |
BTW, this is one of the strangest ideas I've read in a while. [+] |

//I once got a chess piece stuck in my hand. They are weapons, people.// |
|
| |
That is one of the strangest unexplained statements that I've read in awhile. |
|
| |
//I once got a chess piece stuck in my hand. They are weapons, people.// |
|
| |
*Weilds king and bishop menacingly* |
|
| |
"I've got chess peices and I'm not afraid to use them!" |
|
| |
*Grabs rook & handfull of pawns, turns rook upside down & slips pawn into it.* |
|
| |
"Go Ahead!, Make my day!" |
|
| |
I was thinking that this would be a hood in the shape of a Knight chessman... That would have been cool, but this is better [+]. |
|
| |
I was hoping this would be about hoods that make you look like chess pieces, so you can gather 32 of your friends, kit them out in Chess Hoodies and play a game. |
|
| |
32 friends? Spreading ourselves a little thin, I'd say. |
|
| |
"Aww... why am I always queen rook pawn!? I hate being queen rook pawn!" |
|
| |
This may be a little difficult to work with unless the board part is flat... in which case the hoodie might be rather uncomfortable... |
|
| |
Unless... Crocheted chess pieces! Oh, that probably wouldn't work either. |
|
| |
I once wrote to the electoral commission about a game I played with 32 of my closest friends. They never replied... |
|
| |
++ And backgammon would be nice too. |
|
| |
off-topic, [froglet], how's it going with the braces? |
|
| |
//I once got a chess piece stuck in my hand. They are weapons, people.//
You could use pretty much anything as a weapon;
A suitcase, for example. |
|
| |
//This may be a little difficult to work with unless the board part is flat... in which case the hoodie might be rather uncomfortable... //
Use Velcrow. Although, it may be rather annoying to play on a hood-shaped board, and the hood would have to be Velcowable. But, you would be able to put the hood on in the middle of a game so that you could finish it later. |
|
| |
//And backgammon would be nice too.//
As would Go. |
|
| |
Go might be an issue. 361 stone tiles and a solid timber board 4.5in thick and 21in x 21in is going to be heavy. |
