Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011

Hello everyone,

This is the largest playing surface in the world when it comes to board games! It’s a chess board! The board has been designed by Great Chesspectations as part of their ‘The Minister of Sinister’ series.
Built On Tradition … Great Chesspectations is the only source for oversized and battlefield style chess boards. They say, “We took tradition and multiplied it.” Their website is just being built. You can find them on Facebook and Twitter.
