raisinhead Posted November 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The Grand has one. The Island Princess has one. The Star Princess has one. They are located on the Sports deck. Other ships may have them too. These are the only ones I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credit 00 Posted November 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) It's still on the Golden though I've never seen the actual pieces, they'll be stored somewhere if you asked. Edited November 1, 2017 by Credit 00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aqua2 Posted November 1, 2017 #12 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Still on the Coral, up on Deck 16. The pieces were out when I was up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted November 1, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'm pretty sure I've seen the chess board on most of the Princess ships (10?) we've been on (except the Pacific). The pieces are usually present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef42 Posted November 2, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 2, 2017 As others have said, there is one on the Grand, but it's rotated 90 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishywood Posted November 2, 2017 #17 Share Posted November 2, 2017 What ships have giant/life size chess? The chess pieces are slightly above waist high. So unless real-life knights and rooks were really really small in days of yore "life size" is a bit of an exaggeration. The board on the deck is not large enough to host a "live action" human chess-piece game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board on the deck is not large enough to host a "live action" human chess-piece game. I just wanted to be clear that I wasn’t looking for 2” pieces.

donaldsc Posted November 13, 2017 #21 Share Posted November 13, 2017 What ships have giant/life size chess? Is there a point to giant chess as opposed to normal chess on a board except that everyone can see how badly you play? DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailspintom Posted November 13, 2017 #22 Share Posted November 13, 2017 It's good to be the king. But it is the Queen that gets to move in any direction and as far as she would like... as in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
