 I took some chess pics in the past that I liked. Tried to do another for the challenge. Hope this one goes over well. Couldn't think of another depicting Success and I wanted to enter one.

A bit of artitic license as far as chess rules go, I think, otherwise a very pleasing image.

A number of chess photographs in this competition, I think I like this one the most so far. It's clean and simple but still conveys the idea.

no wonder black lost, you can't see half the board ;-)

Like this lots. Is the black piece made of glass?

the cracks/worn areas make this actually seem as though there has been a battle! 8
