Description
Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The game is played by millions of people worldwide. Chess is believed to be derived from the Indian game chaturanga sometime before the 7th century. The 64 squares alternate in color and are referred to as light and dark squares. The chessboard is placed with a light square at the right-hand corner nearest to each player. Thus, each queen starts on a square of its own color (the white queen on a light square; the black queen on a dark square). I took a close up photo of the corner of the chess board with a child getting ready to move a pawn piece in the background. I used frontal focus so that the game was in focus but the child is blurry. It is the set up for the black side. It will make a great image for any playroom, game room or bedroom.
