The Rogue King

Outside a restaurant at the marina in Nelson Bay is a giant chess set and I noticed the King had decided to try and escape play. Looks as though he was upstaged by one of the white knights.

Lovely shot. I like these outdoor games where people may stop and watch. At least the king still has the crown on his head, hehe.

Well spotted if you didn’t set it up. Even if you did, it made a cool photo.

[Babs]

@randystreat No I didn't set it up. It was like this as I walked past.

[Babs]

@ludwigsdiana Used to play chess in my younger days, but not for a long time.

@tiaj1402 I haven't played for years either.

@julzmaioro People do play often, but more so in the summer.

@casablanca He was obviously having a bit of a sulk.

@kjarn No I left them where they were. I am not going to argue with a king.

@ladymagpie Of course you can Heather.

@bluemoon They aren't very heavy, just large.

[Jane Pittenger]

Lol

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Knocked off his throne! I find these extra-large chess games pretty interesting but I have no idea how to play chess.
