About this build

A garden chess board: sixty-four squares of black and white concrete in a stone border, with a full set of pieces, white in quartz and black in polished blackstone. Pawns are slabs, rooks have flat tops, knights wear a stair as a head, bishops are tall, the queen is taller and the king has gold on top. The game has started: a white pawn has moved and a black knight is out. Benches face the board from both ends.
