Dogs ~ Double Eights ~ Canine vs Feline: #19

Dogs ~ Double Eights ~ Canine vs Feline: #19

The Battle eventually HAD to happen . . .

Not because of hatred.

Not because of rivalry.

But because there was nothing else left to do between shows.

It all began at the final event of the International Dog Show.

Two champions waited at ringside — one celebrated for his clever mind, the other for his unmatched agility. As handlers adjusted leads and judges shuffled papers, the Clever One leaned toward his companion and quietly asked:

“Be honest… what do we do for the other fifty weeks?”

The Agile One didn’t hesitate.

“Practice is fine,” he said, “but I want a game. Something with rules. Strategy. Consequences.”

The Clever One paused. Then smiled.

“What if we formed a team? Sixteen of us. King to Pawn.”

A beat.

“What if we played chess?”

And just like that…

Double Eights was born.

They didn’t yet know the cats were watching.

 Consider 'Annealing' your chess set.

Annealing your PLA models can improve strength by 10–20%. If you plan to use the set regularly, I highly recommend it. For display or occasional play, annealing is optional, and the appearance and finish remain unchanged.
