Yeah but that 4.2 million is spare change for them. It's not like they spent every penny they had on it.

If I had 100s of millions I'd definitely be buying shit like this for fun.

I still wouldn't. You could get a replica of it for a few thousand dollars if you really wanted one in your home. 4.2 million is like what, 100 or so average earnings of people in Europe for a year? You could just go up to a 100 people and buy a year of their time.

It's not like you can take their time and add it to yours. Mask plz.

You could hire out like four human sized chess boards and pretty good players to play against each other for 8 hours a day mon-friday, for about 11 months. Record every single match and put it on YouTube. A thousand years from now people will still occasionally write click bait about that insanity. TIL someone ran four human pieces chess games at a time for almost a year and recorded it all.
