All the bidding goes to training homeless kids. Its worth £500 + its the board and set with the FIDE coins under the pieces. What will you give? :) Jewels in the kings cross.

I'd give a lot if i had anything. Really.
come on people, get yourself a flashy new board to show off with. Think of the bragging rights and possible promotion benefits it could lend.

It is very nice, the coins on the base of each piece are brilliant, and the board is great too. Its old but doesn't look it.

Fair enough. How much are you hoping to get for it?

To be honest, £400, but that depends on the demand, people can see it first and then agree.
