Anna Tingley Unless you’re Beth Harmon on “Queen’s Gambit” — high on a mix of Librium and unrelenting ambition — then you probably can’t play an entire game of chess on the ceiling, from the depths of your own brilliant mind .Rather, you’ll need a physical board and a partner to enjoy the classic strategy game.

And there’s no better reason to buy a board than as way to celebrate National Chess Day on July 20. If you’re a pop culture junkie, then there’s no lack of options to choose from.

Why stick to the classic King and Queen, when you can transform them into Westero’s Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow? Why play on an unimaginative checkered board when you can tactically move your pawns within the fortified walls of a Middle Earth fortress.
