The city of St. Louis dedicated the world's largest chess piece, a king standing 14.5 feet tall and weighing 2,280 lbs., on Monday. The sculpture is located outside the city's World Chess Hall of Fame.
"This piece serves as a monument to the chess culture we are creating in St. Louis," said Mike Wilmering, spokesman for the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis.
