What do you love to brag about?

Don’t mean to brag, but I can spot every iteration of an improperly set up chess board. Saw one at the gift shop of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, but the clerk wasn’t exactly impressed when I pointed it out. Sometimes I’ll rewind a show if a board’s on the screen too briefly—to Phoebe’s great annoyance. I watched an episode of Young Sheldon—“A Pager, a Club and a Cranky Bag of Wrinkles”—the other day and saw an error. There are 3 main ways to set a board incorrectly. The King & Queen can be on the wrong squares—“Queen to Color.” The board can be turned 90°. When sitting behind your pieces, the square at the bottom right corner must be white. Or, the board may rarely be flipped 180°, but only if using one with “1-8” and “a-h” designations to assist with documenting moves. White needs “a1” as the lower left square on these boards. Anyway, Sheldon visited the University’s Chess Club. Lo and behold, a black square was at the bottom right corner. I thought for sure the child genius would point out the faux pas. Nope. Very disappointed!
