Let's play CHesso, the old skool game turned into a modern "let's all recycle way!!"
CHesso : the chess play game is now here to print in 3d .
Go outside for a walk and search for thrown away soda cans to collect, clean them up or just use 32 soda cans from RED BULL, you and your friends ,family, others emptied drinking.
For example you can use colourfull cans , 16 fanta orange cans for one player and 16 chocomel cans for the other player , print all the parts and connect them to the cans.( example :for the fanta can parts you can print with orange filament and for the chocomel cans you can use yellow filament) but i suggest to use your own imagination.
I also designed a second toppawn with a small hole in it where a straw can be put in so you can take a drink on hot days, when you need a zip, or just need a drink to over think your next move...just maneuver the toppawn over the drinking hole in the sodacan, put a straw in it and enjoy...
If all is finished you will have great fun playing this game with kids, family or just Gary Kasparov.
Play it outside in a park, on the campsite,on the schoolyard or inside.
Make a chess board from cardboard ,paint or draw one with your kids or family ,to play the game inside or draw a chessboard outside with chalk/paint and have fun playing this all ages game.
Also you can print your own custom made scaled up chessboard from :https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1955224 (thanks to Mike Neilson)
