Lego Chess

My son recently expressed interest in learning to play chess. To make the game more fun we made it out of Lego Pieces; using square blocks as pawns and minifigures as the characters. The King has a special hat and the queen has girl hair and all the other pieces have a cape with their position written on it.

He learned the positions and movement of the pieces, but for him, it was much more fun playing with the captured minifigures than finishing the game.
