Wouldn't it be cool to own a giant chess set?

[Reverend Conehead]

I think it would be fun to own a giant chess set like this one. If you've ever visited Bern, Switzerland (the capital city), you've probably seen a chess set something like this. In a park area near their capitol building, there are a couple of these, and anyone who wants to can play.

But wouldn't it be great to have your own little courtyard or yard area where you could play outdoor chess with something like this? I play chess on my Android phone all the time, but that's not the same as playing on a big ol' set like this. They're affordable. I think they run between 300 and 900 bucks depending on what kind you get. I imagine it would be best to get a weather-resistant one.

Oh, well. I guess it's not for everyone.

We have one in the courtyard where I work. The pieces are really heavy.

Only if it was giant 3-D chess. Maybe with escalators running between the levels.

There aren't chess enthusiasts in Texas? I figured with it being such a big state and all there's got to be people there who play chess.

 

[Tabascocat]

No, but I wouldn’t mind owning a giant fossilized T-Rex
