      Yeah but that 4.2 million is spare change for them. It’s not like they spent every penny they had on it.

      If I had 100s of millions I’d definitely be buying shit like this for fun.

        I still wouldn’t. You could get a replica of it for a few thousand dollars if you really wanted one in your home. 4.2 million is like what, 100 or so average earnings of people in Europe for a year? You could just go up to a 100 people and buy a year of their time.

            You could hire out like four human sized chess boards and pretty good players to play against each other for 8 hours a day mon-friday, for about 11 months. Record every single match and put it on YouTube. A thousand years from now people will still occasionally write click bait about that insanity. TIL someone ran four human pieces chess games at a time for almost a year and recorded it all.
