Living chess set featuring 32 actors turns heads at London’s ChessFest
ChessFest claims to be the UK’s largest one-day chess event.
A group of 32 professional actors turned heads in Trafalgar Square by featuring in a living chess set.
Sunday’s performance in London was part of ChessFest, which claims to be the UK’s largest one-day chess event.
Organisers said the living chess pieces would perform a re-enactment of Bobby Fischer’s game three victory against Boris Spassky at the 1972 World Chess Championship, marking its 50 year anniversary.
They also planned to revisit a game between former world champion Garry Kasparov and his robotic nemesis Deep Blue.
