It’s Just Cool: Giant Yard Chess
By Sean O'Hara
If you’ve ever watched MTV’s Cribs, maybe you saw some rock star’s regulation basketball court, or a pool the size of a small house with a waterfall, and thought, “I want that someday.” For me it would be something like this yard-sized chess set — this style I can get behind.
If you think about it, the giant chess set would be tons less pathetic when you get older than seeing a sixty-year-old rock star trying not to break his hip on a basketball court while proving he’s not too old to stuff it.
Of course, when your wife checkmates you in thirty moves it’s visible from space, and that might be a trifle embarrassing. But hey — it also gives you more incentive to work on your game.

I used to work for an apartment complex that was knight themed (Knight’s Castle Apts.) and they had a chess set like this - and that was 15 years ago so nothing new here.

Always wanted a checker board like this, might have to consider making a set of chess pieces to go with it.
