Organizers at Vilnius University, Lithuania, designed a 24 x 24-meter chessboard to accommodate one of the biggest chess sets ever made. They hosted an event to celebrate World Physics Day, in 2008. Unfortunately, the chess set couldn’t make it into the Guinness Book of World Records, because, even though the pieces were the biggest, it didn’t include the chessboard.
While the chess board made in Lithuania might not be the world’s largest, it’s a spectacular one to play at. What are your thoughts on this insanely enormous chess set?

The world’s largest chess set
Medicine Hat Chess Club, Canada, holds the Guinness Book of World Record for the biggest chess set. The dimensions of the chessboard are 5.89m on each side. The king is 119cm tall and 37.4cm wide. They measured it in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, on 27 May 2009. Well, you can’t certainly play with such a huge chess set, but it could definitely account for a unique heritage sighting.
