A friend and I were playing chess today and as big Sharpe fans were wondering if there was a Sharpe Chess Set. We have searched and haven’t found one which indicates that one does not exist. We then got discussing on a potential set and believe that it would have the potential of greatness. What are your thoughts (probably that we have too much time on our hands or need a new hobby) Here is our idea of Sharpe chess. British (white) Rooks – Major Munro Knights – Major Nairn Bishops – Major Hogan Queen – Richard Sharpe King – Wellington Pawns – Cooper, Perkins, Hagman, Harper, Harris, Dobbs, Kelly, Tongue, French (black) Rooks – Brigadier Loup Knights – Colonel Leroux Bishops – General Calvet Queen – Major Ducos King – Napoleon Pawns – Count of Matamoros, Compte de Maquerre, Jacques Malan, Henri Maillot, De I’Eclin, Jean Luc Barbier, Labecque, Guy Challon
