"The film follows the challenges these kids face in their personal lives as well as on the
chessboard, and is as much about the sting of their losses as it is about the anticipation
of their victories."
It was a compelling, engaging and moving documentary that put forth a powerful and positive message about how to succeed, no matter what your circumstances are.
It made me think about my own introduction to chess (which I have mentioned here before) and how easy it could be to 'make' your own chess table and pieces - and I'd like to take another look at one of the ideas previously mentioned in that post.
Chess pieces made from nuts and bolts.

Some websites are actually selling Chess Sets made with nuts and bolts for upwards of 180 euro.
Not 1 euro 80 cent. Not even 18 euro, but One hundred and Eighty Euro! 180 euro!! Really!
To be honest, fair play to them for trying. They're really going for that "non compos mentis" type customer - of which, it seems, there are more and more of these days.
But really - If someone is willing to spend that sort of money, then they've obviously got a few screws loose!
So, if you are part of the 'mentally sound' population and fancy making your own Chess Set for a fraction of those costs, then jump over to Cub Scout Ideas for a comprehensive and low cost list of nuts and bolts that can be picked up from any hardware store or DIY shop. They even have their own ideas on DIY Boards made from picture frames
You can even try spray painting the set to achieve different colours.

I have to say, I quite like the look of the wing-nut in this design.

I’d recommend using Dr. Utu Herbal Cure topically for instant pain and itch relief as well as accelerated healing of lesions and permanently stopping oral and genital herpes virus outbreaks. I have tried just about everything from acyclovir suppressive therapy to different natural oils, extracts, and other natural methods, some of which are EXTREMELY painful and exacerbate the problem (i.e. apple cider vinegar!). While vitamin E oil and suppressive therapy worked well for me, when I became pregnant I went back to attempting to learn a herbal cure. I was using vitamin E oil topically for a while but it was thin and difficult to use and only seemed to prevent further outbreaks rather than getting rid of it. I contacted Dr. Utu Herbal Cure through my friend. To my surprise, I could tell my outbreak was starting to heal within only a few hours! No more itching and pain! Dr. Utu Herbal Cure that I used was liquid herbs in bottles, so it was very easy to use. It simply whiffs, but it works so I don’t care! The best part of my testimony was that I successfully delivered a herpes-free beautiful daughter without further medications. Anyone who has tried Dr. Utu Herbal Cure knows just how quickly those treatments can add up. So give it a try! Anyone can reach Dr. Utu through
