Of course in metric, the pieces would be 500 and 1,000 kilos
respectively to avoid having to do any math.
(Formerly titled: "Heavy Metal Chess Set Idea Ripoff" since it was
inspired by the "Heavy Metal Chess Set" idea by Flying

I like it, similar to Chess Boxing, only with a heavy lifting physical angle, instead of a "punch you in the heed" one. |

Ok. Gave you props in the description for the inspiration

I've seen that phrase before and wondered what it meant. Thanks. "heavy metal" in my post was a mildly clever pun on them actually being (relatively) heavy metal pieces and also sortof fantasy'ish (in an Ozymandias type of way), referring to the '70s animated flick. |
