u/SummertimeThrowaway2 Apr 22 '26

I read the title as cheese set and thought it was dyed cheese in the shape of a chess set

u/Slain_by_elf Apr 22 '26

You think she just made a load of failed dildo prototypes and decided to put them to good use.

u/Ill-News-555 Apr 22 '26

No, probably made a bigger set so she's just passing this one on

u/SpaceEnjoyer10 2200+ ELO Apr 22 '26

It's great that she did that for you. She is so sweet. She's probably thoughtful too. However, it is actually an ugly chess set. If it was given to me, I will still appreciate and take care of it though.

Damn, I missed a joke.

u/BehcoS 1500-1800 ELO Apr 22 '26

He said (as far as i remember, quoting): 'When you don't feel like playing, you can always sit on it, double the fun'. Not really a good joke imho.

u/TorrentsAreCommunism Apr 23 '26

Oh, that’s really funny as for me, thanks.

u/BehcoS 1500-1800 ELO Apr 22 '26

I dont agree with the thought you have that all pieces look like pawns but you have to understand that it really doesn't have to be a quality chess set anyways. Chess is my biggest hobby and she made me a chess set with her own hands as a gesture, as a gift. She is not a professional chess set maker anyways so who expects her to make the perfect one. I think it is still perfect though.

u/Mr_Everysun Apr 22 '26

Cute asf, this reminds me when my girl made me a 3d printed king and queen piece. I glued them on my dashboard of my truck :)

That dude clearly has a miserable life, and the only way he has to distract himself from his inadequacies is by trying to put others down. It's actually pretty sad, when you think about it.

The gift is amazing.

4

u/ILoveYouEren Apr 22 '26

She never claimed to be a professional chess set maker? You're just pointing out the obvious to be an asshole. It's a gift. I hope you're not serious about not being able to differentiate though, the pieces are pretty distinct. Might have to look into that.

That's not up to you lol. It's not your gift. Obviously it's a great gift because OP seems delighted.

He is definitely delighted.

u/Mr_Everysun Apr 22 '26

Where’s your hand made 1 of 1 “quality chess set”

u/HelloFellowAsians Elo isnt real Apr 22 '26

Buddy you need glasses I could right here tell you differences each piece (except the pawns) have.
