Wang Wenfu, a 52-year-old retired gym teacher from the Shunyi District of Beijing, has just completed a giant Chinese chess set carved from marble. The 32 pieces are 0.4 meter high and 1 meter wide.
Not easy to maneuver, each piece weighs as much as 837 kilos.
Last month, the Shanghai-based Great World Guinness Headquarters named Wang’s chess set as the largest one of its type ever made in the country. Wang hopes his chess set can go into play at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.
