Huge Lego Chess Set


Hi Everyone!

Look at this amazing chess set. It is made up of 1,00,000 Lego pieces and measures 12 feet x 12 feet. The set also cost more than $30,000 to build.

What is pretty neat about the board is that pieces make space for the Knight to come out to the center and when a piece is captured, it navigates its way off the board to the side! The chess set took four years to build and you can read about it in detail here or watch a video about it.
