In 1924, a game of human chess was held in Leningrad, Russia. This unique game was played with two teams of sixteen players each and took an incredible 5 hours to complete. The teams were divided into two sides – the White and the Black. Each side had 8 pawns, 2 knights, 2 bishops, 2 rooks, and 1 king and queen. The game was played in a large open space, with spectators watching from the sidelines.

This human chess game was a remarkable sight to behold. It was a test of both strategy and physical strength, as each player had to move their pieces across the large board. It was a fascinating display of human ingenuity and creativity, and a reminder of the power of the game of chess.
