1977 Sydney Australia: People, young and old, stand and quietly watch an open air chess game being played with knee high chess pieces in Sydney's Hyde Park. In the background a government bus and other traffic travels down Elizabeth Street. The chess board was painted concrete and the pieces were provided by the city, games were common during weekday lunch times and all weekend.
