Under a big ol' don't-touch-me glass case.

From the IQ museum in Ulaanbaatar, home to 745 chessboards currently.

That's very neat! I'm afraid it would be really confusing to actually play with though lol

Ha, yea probably pretty difficult. The pieces are differentiated so you probably catch on after a while.

It's funny, some of these chess boards, not the majority but maybe 10% of them were just identical statues placed on a chess board labeled "Indonesian chessboard" or the like but all the pieces are identical.

Apparently if the guy can't find like a really cool chess board from a particular country he'll go find some cool wooden carvings somewhere, buy like 20 of them and make a chess board for that country.

Which is also funny and cool.
