Create a surreal painting of a group of anthropomorphic animals playing an intense game of chess in the middle of a mystical forest filled with vibrant colors and whimsical creatures.

Create a surrealistic image showcasing a blend of anthropomorphic animals, such as a fox, an elephant, a squirrel, and a koala, all deeply engaged in a nail-biting game of chess. This epic confrontation takes place in the heart of a mystical forest. The forest should be a dazzling splash of vibrant, otherworldly colors, perhaps hues of purple, neon green, and electric blue. Memoirs of magical, whimsical creatures - dragonflies with butterfly wings, rabbits with antlers, snails with peacock tails - need to be scattered around, adding to the enchanting ambiance.
