Our giant chess set is currently in Bangkok Thailand, where it has pride of place in our memorial garden that was constructed to commemorate the students of our school that died in the Asian Tsunami. One of the children really liked chess so we thought that this would be a fitting tribute to him.
We use our giant set for school fun days, for rainy day recess and for chess club events. We are a k-6 elementary school. It's a big hit with all the kids and with parents too.

Our recent purchase of your giant chess set is being enjoyed on an almost daily basis. In the past we had one that we had made ourselves using various plastic pipes and fittings, but once we made the decision to have our board moved to another part of our yard and upgraded a bit, I decided it was also time to have "real" pieces.
I've attached two photos of the board in its new location which is in a lower portion of our backyard. The board was made with simple 12 x 12 pavers, set into sand and bordered by concrete curbing. We love it! I've mentioned it on several homeschooling Internet lists and have already had two families come over to see it. I let them know where to buy their pieces when the time comes! The Chess House, of course!

Here's some photos of the installation at eBay headquarters. Your chess set was used in one chess themed conference room. The project utilized items bought from eBay to furnish these rooms. All were very excited at how well it turned out!
Thanks,
