On our travels, we saw this monster chess set at the Eneabba service station in Western Australia. It would be fun to play while sitting having a coffee under the trees. This is the same service station that has the peafowl and you can see a peacock in front of the chess set.
Our son in Ireland enjoys chess and plays in competitions from time to time. Vince hasn’t played chess since our son beat him when he was seven. When the son was seven, not Vince obviously.

I asked someone to teach me how to play chess when I was in my thirties... But, all the guy wanted to do was take advantage of my ignorance instead of teaching me. I quit trying to learn the game.

@JudyEv You aren't the first person who has told me that. I'm glad I quit trying to learn to play the game.

@DaddyEvil I'm not interested in learning bridge either. That seems pretty complicated too.

I have seen those large chess pieces at a bar restuarant near here that has a big lawn.

Ha ha !!
I liked the part "not Vince obviously" !! 
The setting with Peacock and the Chess set is Tourist-worthy!
I think that the Eneabba Service Station folks should start attracting tourists to visit this place and mint some money!

It was tempting to have a coffee there but we needed to move on.

Vince wasn't very happy. I kept tellling him that he (Vince) must have taught him well! lol

Perhaps the peacocks wanted to play chess with some humans,

I didn't have the patience to learn how to play chess. I'd rather learn how to play a new card game.

I'm the same. I love playing euchre. That would be my favourite. And we're just resurrecting cribbage which is a good game too.
