The King is almost 6 feet tall! Definitely not a chess set to be used for blitz chess!!

That's exactly what I want to do in our backyard. The set we had seen was on a cruise ship with the king at about 3 feet. We might have to find where that larger set comes from.
Well that one is near the building where my brother works - and it is under twenty four hour surveillance! If you look you can see the sign in the second picture that my brother took. Quite the set!!
I totally agree – this is “THE” ideal backyard chess set. I will ask my brother to see if he can find out what company produced this particular chess set and then I will pass along that information to everyone here in cyber space.
Have a good one - ST
