chestas<p>The chess news:</p><p>1. Religions hate chess. Chess has been banned by various religions over the centuries, and the Taliban have just suspended chess in Afghanistan while investigating its legitimacy under Sharia law. </p><p>2. Male US chess player who punched a female photojournalist after losing a game and then was banned from chess in the USA for a year, was still allowed to play outside the USA. FIDE, the World Chess Federation dragged their feet after his local ban, but have now suspended him for 60 days while investigating a second harassment allegation at an event in Sardinia. </p><p>3. Russian and Israeli players are still not banned from competing by FIDE. Even players who are sanctioned, like Sergey Karjakin, are allowed to compete. </p><p>I don't like to 'cancel' but I'm seriously close to giving up on FIDE, even if that limits what I can compete in. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chess</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Russia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>israel</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>misogyny</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Afghanistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Afghanistan</span></a></p>

Ingmar Spit<p>I've added the "Classic Parisian Café de la Régence Chess Set" to BambuLab's Makerworld.</p><p>Fullsize set: King is about 100 mm tall and 30 mm wide at the base. Pawn is 50 mm tall and 20 mm at the base.</p><p>I recommend using matte PLA. I've printed them with a 0.4mm nozzle and a 0.16mm layer height. Resulting prints are in the photo's. A 0.2mm nozzle and even smaller layer height can be used for finer detail.</p><p>Get it here: <a href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/1398253-classic-parisian-cafe-de-la-regence-chess-set#profileId-1449620" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">makerworld.com/en/models/13982</span><span class="invisible">53-classic-parisian-cafe-de-la-regence-chess-set#profileId-1449620</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastoart.social/tags/3dPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dPrinting</span></a> <a href="https://mastoart.social/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chess</span></a> <a href="https://mastoart.social/tags/chessset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chessset</span></a> <a href="https://mastoart.social/tags/BambuLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BambuLab</span></a></p>
