A large outdoor chess set is placed on a checkered mat on a grassy lawn. The chess pieces are oversized, with black pieces in the foreground and white pieces in the background. Surrounding the chess set are areas of grass bordered by modern buildings, stairs, and murals.

Two men are engaged in a game of chess at a concrete table in a public space. One man, wearing a dark jacket and cap, is concentrated on the board while the other, in a gray jacket, observes intently. Nearby, another person is sitting, focused on their own chess game, with a chessboard bag and a bright blue shopping bag beside them. People walk by in the background amid a modern urban setting with concrete structures and banners hanging from the building.

The Glasgow Chess Festival is a fantastic event! The atmosphere is vibrant, and the organization is top-notch. I had an amazing time participating and meeting fellow enthusiasts.
