Of Kings and Queens

I used to be an avid Chess player, but as I gotten older and my being a physician took over most of my brain (trust me, not much space up there), I haven't played a game in years.

 

My dad found one of my older Chess boards, complete with all the pieces, and gave it to me just for keeps.

 

And well, I knew I wanted to photograph.
