Faux-gem Encrusted Cloisonné Enamel “Muslim Pattern” Chess Set Early to mid 20th century Enamel, metal, and glass Collection of the Family of Jacqueline Piatigorsky Though best known as a cellist, Jacqueline’s husband Gregor also earned attention for the beautiful collection of chess sets that he displayed at the Piatigorskys’ Los Angeles, California, home. The collection featured gorgeous sets from many of the locations where he traveled while performing as a musician. This beautiful set from the Piatigorskys’ collection features cloisonné decoration. Cloisonné is a technique of decorating metalwork in which metal bands are shaped into compartments which are then filled with enamel, and decorated with gems or glass. These green and red pieces are adorned with geometric and floral motifs. 2.

Stephen Wright HERE AND THERE Training Partner Wanted I am looking for a chess training partner to meet over Zoom to play 30+20 games and then analyze thoroughly afterwards. I would also like to practice endgame positions and possibly openings. I have played a total of five CFC rated games and my provisional rating is 944. For what it's worth, my classical time control rating on lichess is ~1700. Let's help each other improve! If interested, please contact Simon at [email protected]. CFC Memberships As previously announced, the CFC was automatically extending memberships that expired on or after March 1, 2020. This was done due the drastically reduced number of CFC-rated events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On November 1, after eight months, the CFC ended the automatic extension of memberships. This was due to the increasing number of CFC-rated events available online to all members across Canada as well as the return of some over the board events. The CFC is now adding eight months to all memberships that expired on or after March 1, 2020: March 1, 2020 expiry dates will be changed to November 1, 2020 April 1, 2020 expiry dates will be changed to December 1, 2020 May 1, 2020 expiry dates will be changed to January 1, 2021 Etc, etc.
