Human chess is a form of chess in which people take the place of pieces. |
It is modelled after the costumed human chess game has been staged every two years on the second week in September in the Italian city of Marostica, near Venice ever since 1923. |
| The game commemorates a legendary chess game played in 1454 by two young knights to settle which of them would court the lady that both had fallen in love with. |
This year 50 contestants from the south central and central highland regions join the game. |
Students choreograph martial art acts when they are required to move. |
