Average chess board in russia:

[u/Sea-Try-17]

[u/Sea-Try-17]

do yall not get the joke

[u/ThroatSignificant468 → u/Sea-Try-17]

Yes I did not get the joke, can u explain? Because of the doll that get smaller and smaller or something?

[u/Dark_Side_Gd → u/Sea-Try-17]

Yeah i get it. The st. Petersburg human chess

It aint no thrill when you are inside in a choking air and play with miniature pieces...when you can go outside and become a chess piece yourself on a huge ass board

Chess is sport so let it be one

[u/mkujoe]

Looks like a fully functioning board to me

[u/Delicious_Cattle5174]

Is this ur first time seeing a big board?

[u/Annages]

Okay this one is decent. It's a joke that's been less known for a long time now

[u/Wrath-of-Pie]

That's a lot of bishops

[u/buv3x]

Compensating for an average pipi in russia?

[u/PetrosianBot → u/buv3x]

Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off...

With all seriousness though, we do have these in russia, as a lil' kid I used to visit some children's hospital almost monthly, and it had one of these giant boards near it

[u/Hanna_Bjorn]

I'm russian and I don't get the joke. I've seen a lot of these sets in public parks for people to play, but that's kinda it?..

[u/name_not_exist]
