Add an intellectual level to those "Strongest Man" competitions.
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
Toaster)

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

[+] as a fan of lawn-chess, I'd like to see this. |

Ok. Gave you props in the description for the inspiration
though. ("Props" short for "propers", short for "proper
respect". Don't know if they say that in your neck of the

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. |

I wouldn't call it a "ripoff" though.... hmm wait... is "ripped" a musclemag adjective ?... in that case consider my objection recanted and I'll slink back into the corner with the other illiterates. |

And if you're too tired to lift the rook and carry it halfway 'cross the board you might have to make do with moving a pawn instead. |
