Live Chess


Live chess in Monselice (2004)

Live Chess is a chess game where people are portrayed on a chessboard of large sizes.

It can be played on any site suitable for this purpose, including a station square, a town hall square, the Maasvlakte or a football field. In that area, 64 fields are measured, 32 of which are provided with figures, not chess pieces, but chanted figures that depict each one. The chessmen who play the party seek a clear place on the edge of the board, which they instruct the "pieces" to move through the microphone.

In another variant, the chess pieces should discuss how to play. The method can be psychologically interesting. Often it appears that the players assign a lot of authority to the king.
