I hereby present my contribution to the The Hogwarts Community Build. As chess lover the choice wasn't hard and i ended up with the Chess Room. Building wizards chess figures that have the ability to fight each other? Challenge accepted:

I chose to build the room itself in a movie-oriented look but pretty soon i struggled with the golden rills surrounding the black and white fields. So i kept it simple. I didn't want to include Harry, Ron or Hermine so i decided to build the non-featured scene when Minerva McGonagall errects the chess field to protect the Sorcerers stone.

An overview:

This is a great build, the crazy parts you have together to make the chess pieces are genius. Super job! :excited_thumbup:

I like how you made the different chesspieces, and putting McGonagall in there was a nice touch. :thumbup:
