Near the entrance to Presnensky Park in Moscow, Russia, there is a huge chess board with wooden chess pieces on the playground. According to what the director of the park says, now you can rent chess and checkers in the park, and chess players of the famous Moscow chess club, which is called "Presnya", will conduct chess plays for all comers. Also, there are many wooden sculptures of famous characters of Russian and foreign fairy tales, which are especially interesting for children.
The chess-board unfortunately is not visible in these pictures, as it is covered with snow.
