Checkmate

I'm not a big chess player by any means, but I wanted an authentic scene for this shot, so I turned to Google. This is actually the last move in a match that became known as The Game of the Century, where a 13-year old beat a renowned chess master.

 

Tessa stood in for little Bobby Fischer.
