The largest "chessboard" on Earth that can be seen even from space is a forest area near the priest river in Idaho, USA.

Two centuries ago, a company in the United States was granted the right to partially cut down forests. According to the document, every second square mile of forest was devoted to its needs. As a result of cutting down, this giant chess pattern was created.
