Chess in a bottle: cut bottle art

[cajundetector]

Too rainy today to go metal detecting in southeast Louisiana. Decided to do some bottle cutting. Started doing this with the intention of repurposing broken antique bottles that I would find. Cut this from a balsamic vinegar bottle that I was done with. Btw I’m also a chess nut!

Nice hobby! My brother taught me chess when I was 7/8 years old. Learned chess before checkers. I’m 75 years old now and have taught my three sons and six grandchildren chess. A great game!

Agreed! Bet you have learned some good tactics along the way

Honestly, without getting into the details, chess was life changing for me. I struggled in elementary school academically, but chess allowed me to level the playing field. I hope that makes sense.
