Step onto a 4 × 4 metre black-and-white board and wage strategic war with 1-metre-tall resin pieces that clack satisfyingly on the tiles. Whether you’re teaching a beginner the “horse-moves-in-an-L” rule or reenacting Kasparov gambits, the open-air setting—acacia shade, distant kudu grunts—turns every match into a memory. Sunset games are especially cinematic as long shadows stretch from the knight’s mane across the board.
