      Here's my move.
      Small tip for the next move: This is in fractional U.S. units 😡 , so to avoid messing up please type 1' for every square you move your pieces. The ' symbol is below the ?, at least in my keyboard. If you don't find the ' or you're forced to activate it with a modifier key, just type .3048m for every square you move.

      EDIT: I've just enabled length snapping = 1' to prevent accidents.

              Just use Indigo's Path Tracing mode, Remus, it's pretty fast for sunlit exteriors. This was done in a minute and a half.
              My move.

                        animated 3rd move, please ignore it as Miguel posted 3rd move before I could finish my animation.

                        (took longer to upload to imageshack than to animate, quality dropped huge when converting from avi to gif)

                        (move is called Crystal method)

                            Just realised that the piece was moving through the board, so a quick change was in order.

                            (called a jump move)

                                  I knew the motion was too natural for SketchUp. 😲 I wish we had smooth motion... One can only wish.
                                  So, are you making your move on the green side, Remus? If you don't feel like rendering just post a screenshot.

                                      Ah. Remus! I was about to post that very move.

                                      My avatar is an anachronism.

                                          These are really cool.
                                          Remember, it would be a good idea to post a message as soon as you decide to make the next move. That way someone won't post in front of you.
