Wizard's chess? No.

I assume from the 'not a specific board game' answer that we are not looking for a type of chess.

So this is 'a type of game', but 'not a specific board game' and one of the 2 words is 'chess'. Hmmm.
[Raak] Lloyd Webber hasn't been around since the 16th century, it just seems that way.

And INJ and I keep swapping back and forth: Chess Problem (actually, the word on the card was Puzzle, but I decided earlier I would also accept Problem) is the answer. INJ's careful parsing of 'not a specific board game' was correct; that was why I answered that question even after Chess had been guessed. Finally, I hope "yes" to "type of game" wasn't misleading; I was just so relieved that someone was finally on the right track!

(no, not really :-) )

I do have a tendency to get involved more towards the end of these games - the Michael Owen approach
Anyway, have a go at: Mineral

[Chalky} Manufactured? - YES

[Néa ] Specific? - YES (Eiffel Tower? - NO)

Primarily or exlusively metal?

[CdM] Metal? - NO
[Raak] Bigger than a telephone box? - YES

[Raak] a monument? - NO (but some applause)

Hmph. No mere simulpost is going to stand in the way of my question.
