The Human Scale Chess game was created by Sharilyn Neidhardt. 32 people, each representing a chess piece, arrange themselves on a "board" - designated 8 square blocks of a city. They mimic the moves of a real chess game by moving from block to block as the pieces move. The moves of the game are transmitted via cellphone, txt msg, and other wireless communications.
