    Kecati Norkmaz One time I made a marble chess set that was only 0.34 by 0.34 inches. I’ve played chess, but I wanna learn how to play 3D chess.

    May the Lord be with you.

    Mr Korkmaz has way too much time on his hands.

    No wonder Mr. Korkmaz needs to wear eyeglasses! For those metric minded, 0.35 inches is about 9 millimeters. For those wondering what model railroad scale Mr. Korkmaz’s chess board would look good on – O or S scale.

    Never play chess with a Turkish person who’s wearing thick glasses.

    Take care and gesundheit.

    Just what those bartenders deserved – when they water down the drinks it’s so much harder to get hammur-ed.

    Hammurabi. Is that the root of the phrase “Getting Hammered”. Serious question.

    The code of Hammurabi in so many words states how to get ‘hammured’.

    Since Recep Erdoğan came to power Turks have returned to their ancient custom of cheating.

    If I had to play on a set like that, I’d probably opt to play blindfold. ☺

    You’d also need tweezers to play that Turkish man’s cheese board.

    To play Necati Korkmaz’s chess set you also needed a pair of tweezers!

    Clever game. You only play people with poor eyesight and you’re guaranteed to win…
