For the second time this year, the 250-odd farming families in Hinojosa, a sleepy little village in Guadalajara province, decided to organise such a unique game of chess.

Thirty-two farming machines, ranging from tractors to cultivators and harvesters, stood purring on a giant chess board --- ready to ride according to the moves made by the young players.

While the players sat in a tent, the moves were relayed back to the field using walkie-talkies, and the drivers moved their machines accordingly. The entire event was shot using crane cameras.

All 32 pieces ready for the game!
