I like that way of doing it, unfortunatly the table next to my computer where I
put a Chess set of taken up by an unfinished project so I can't play Chess
against my computer in what I consider the proper way.

But yeah, being able to handle the pieces is important, and when something is
attacking you on a real Chess set, it's right there in front of you (how can you
not see it?) but it's easy to overlooked things when they're beeing blasted at
the back of your eyeballs with the cathoid ray tube.

I agree. Real 3D is 2 or 300 times better than the computer screen.
