Good for the theme. In spite of living in the FSU, I know zilch about chess (my sons do) so I don't know if this arrangement of pieces means anything or not. I have often heard that chess was played in the time of the Talmud. I thought this link interesting, CHOSSID · 2012-01-30: 03:54

Are you a chess player, Bro? I am not really good at it, though I was interested as a child... now, I doubt these peasants scattered in the front can do much harm to the Queen and the King, no matter what assistance they get, or? But the DOF is ever so great, and the colors in the background are just exquisite! atszabo · 2012-01-30: 12:05

great shot! Eiram · 2012-01-30: 13:56
