Great idea Levina. I've got some ideas but started here, with the Scandi:

(I was gifted this set back in 2020 and have not used it, opened it up this evening to find each opposing side had an additional Queen. Cool.)

I gotta say I was unsure where this was going to go but the images posted are fabulous. I'm impressed.

not in the same league as all your's but the same game...

 

[Ltdave]

Are you kidding, I think these are great! Are people actually playing the game with these?

yes. the second pi is my wife and daughter on the world's longest hotel porch at the Grand Hotel on Mac in aw (Mackinac) Island michigan. thats the place where "somewhere in time" with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve) was filmed

I'm just fascinated that there are these giant chessboards out in the middle of nowhere.

"My" chess board is right by the hotel terrace.

well the first one of mine is right down town next to some city owned, lease-able boat slips in the Social District (outdoor drinking from local establishments) and the other is on the longest hotel porch in the world at a very busy resort island in the Great Lakes so not really 'in the middle of nowhere'

Early position from the Evans Gambit, that bishop not quite sure if it's a trap.
