I was after the queen with my bishop, protected by the knight, black moved the queen but didn't notice I'd moved my other knight I got the queen, the only piece that got taken and the King was in check and couldn't move.
An unusual win for the 3rd level against the computer. I took only one piece and didn't lose any. I'm sure most Chess players are still looking for a win like this one.
Made for week 695 of the Photoshop Contest.

"I set my moves up strategically, enemy kings are taken easily
Knights move four spaces, in place of bishops east of me
Communicate with pawns on a telepathic frequency
Smash knights with mics in militant mental fights, it seems to be
An everlasting battle on the 64-block geometric metal battlefield
The sword of my rook, will shatter your feeble battle shield
I witness a bishop that'll wield his mystic sword
And slaughter every player who inhabits my chessboard
Knight to Queen's three, I slice through MC's
Seize the rook's towers and the bishop's ministries
Minstrels sing songs and mimic me, but cease to live instantly
Hidden deep within me is a sinister entity
Intentions of tense intent in ten tents
Where kings rest in beds with queens' breasts exposed for sex
To the crease or release tension, tends to tense men
When traitorous defense is fencing kingsmen
I quickly push the whore up from off of me
Trying to understand this battle of psychology
Psychotic, I slice optics of cyclops
In water with warlocks, through Indian corn stalks
Chessboard blocks become blood-red
Blood clots block brains and lock with thoughts of pawns in shock
I shot, crossbows and toss flows across moats
To pierce the archer's armor, armed with arrows
Pole points from elbows, with joints joined with marrow
To maim, the tip of the arrows lit with flame
Checkmate - the death of your king ends the game"

"Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box." Unknown

letter to Wardrobe
Dear Wardrobe,
I am stuck in winter season overseas and what am I to wear? Wallet Toscano says to grab that turtleneck in the store down the corner of the street... and Red Culottes Hand-Me-Downs, who is afraid of the cold, (and as testimony of that fact has taken up residence in Suitcase Mini) asks if I would be so kind as to give it leave to take a peek at the passing world under Old Green Checkered Coat, who's already all raring to go out and face the chilly winds.

Will and Matthew have a very impressive game of checkers going. When I was their age, I would just make little play sandwiches using the red pieces as meat and the black pieces as bread.
Lost in a game of chess.....again, but i thought it made for a good photo against the fire. (i really need to get better)
In early Sanskrit chess (c. 500–700) the king could be captured and this ended the game. The Persians (c. 700–800) introduced the idea of warning that the king was under attack (announcing check in modern terminology). This was done to avoid the early and accidental end of a game. Later the Persians added the additional rule that a king could not be moved into check or left in check. As a result, the king could not be captured, and checkmate was the only decisive way of ending a game.
Before about 1600, the game could also be won by capturing all of the opponent's pieces, leaving just a bare king. This style of play is now called annihilation or robado. In Medieval times players began to consider it nobler to win by checkmate, so annihilation became a half-win for a while, until it was abandoned
Well, I shooted this photo in Caracas historical house (Casa Amarilla) from a small window of the first floor . I dont´ know exactly what category belong it. But I think could be in photojournalism.
