According to a legend of the Tinglit, Gunakadeit is a sea monster living at the southeast coast of Alaska. It is supposed to bring wealth, prosperity succes and fortune. In genereal, waters contain some latent mystery in itself. Seas and lakes have provided an incentive for stories, myths, fables and legends for centuries.

The lake created in Aspern where the game is intended to be implemented is still "fresh", almost virginal and yet feelings of weirdness and wishfullness occur. The idea is, to build an outdoor-chess game with mythical creatures, approximately 50cm tall, right in the environment of the flooded gravel pit.

The pieces would not simply have to be placed on the board, the users should "acquire" every single figure - to increase the tension, to make people curious and connect them with each other through a joint activity. As to enhance this joint activity, there is another game in this game of chess:

 There are miniature figures, hidden everywhere around the lake, possibly even in it, that are to be found and put together by the players of Gunakadeit Chess.
