A good Chess match can be a huge challenge, and we're taking that literally. Now you can play the world's most famous game in your garden, thanks to this giant outdoor Chess set.

The Garden Chess set consists of a giant Chess mat, and a full set of large pieces. Just stretch the mat out on a lawn or patio, then play as normal. Don't worry if you haven't played before, as you get a full set of rules with the set. Okay, so Chess is a tad more difficult to master than Snakes and Ladders, but it's worth the effort for all the years of enjoyment you'll get from it.

Of course, another great advantage of the garden set is the cost. Handcrafted marble sets are all very well, but where's the fun if you're too scared to play with it (or too poor to leave the house again after buying it?) The Garden Chess Set allows you to just enjoy yourself; play on a summer's day with a few beers, and take it as lightly or seriously as you like. And don't worry, you can use it indoors too when the weather isn't quite up to outdoor sessions.

Whether you're already a Chessmaster or fancy becoming one, this quality set puts a modern, fun spin on the traditional game.
