Hi
A friend and I have just completed a giant chess set and intend to play our first game in a few days.
The board is 90 square metres or nearly 1000 square feet.
The chess pieces are made of solid oregon timber, hand turned on a wood lathe.
The heights range from 1 metre or 3 feet to 300mm or 1 foot.
The total project has taken nearly a year.
Are there any other home made giant chess sets out there?

Had a friend in Ascot, Brisbane (named Barrie Byrnes who died in his mid-thirties)
who would have gladly composed an anthem to accompany your upcoming game.

The local paper is going to take photos and run a feature.
I've seen helicopters flying over lately. Could that be the press getting aerial shots for the article? ha ha
