Time for some photography!
But first a little introduction: I love chess.
I love the game, I love its history. I love the variety of chessboards and the stories of grandmasters and world champions. I think I have between 15-20 old, new and obscure books about chess in my library and writing this post makes me want to write my own book about chess, hah, that's how I feel about chess.
It is and remains an awesome game - my uncle teached me to play it when I was (guessing here) roundabout 7 years old. I am still thankful for that. In art-school I wanted to make a life-size chessboard with pieces in wax (so they would melt over time), but it was financially impossible. Still, it's an idea...
So my other option was to take my coolest board (a handcrafted one, from Hungary) and made some contrast-y, very bokeh-y photographs. Enjoy!
(one of these photo's may have made it onto my deviantart-account, as far as I remember)
And as far as I know, 
Which picture do you like best? And are you a chess-fan?
