Chess competition at mall more challenging

CHESS is a game of strategy that requires deep concentration and even more so when it is played in the middle of a shopping mall using chess pieces that are three feet tall.

“I started playing chess about a year ago and this giant chess set is more challenging compared to the conventional table-top sets because you can’t see the whole board to plan your moves,” said SMK Wangsa Maju Seksyen 2 student Muhammad Nur Hakimi Husni, 15.
