So,who would be interested in taking part of a live sized chess game, with the con-goers (attendees) as the actual chess pieces, and the Player would be 2 of our special guests?

We would need a total of 32 pieces, (8 each color pawns, 2 each color Rooks/Knights/Bishops, and 1 each color Kings & Queens). Cosplay is encouraged. Once we see if enough people are interested we will post further information.

here are some links on chess:

Human (life-sized) Chess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_chess
AnimeNext's rules, seem to be a good guideline on how it will work: http://www.animenext.org/cosplay-human-chess
