I was walking through the room and the backlit chess set caught my eye. It seemed like the 2 sides were ready to do battle, sort of "Braveheart" style. There was a serious, somber energy there that piqued my imagination.
Photo taken Oct 11, 2022.
In the beautiful Jinzhai Road in Hefei, the capital of the Chinese province Anhui
Xiangqi is the Chinese chess game.
I took this shot in Washington Square Park where there were several people seated at tables engaged in games of Chess. There appears to be a game in progress here where one person is thinking about his next move while the other returns. Or maybe he's thinking about something having nothing to do with the game at hand. We'll never know but when street photography seems to tell a story we, as the viewers, can become deeply engaged.

Les trottoirs sont encombrés de motos garées, de lieux de restauration, de vendeurs-de-tout, et de divers ateliers (réparation, coiffeurs, …).

Candid street photo.
Manhattan's Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, which is actually a rectangle and not a square, is home to many avid chess players. Here are two deep in concentration contemplating the next moves.
At a time when so many young people are consumed by all manner of video games, it is refreshing to see these gentlemen outdoors among friends, real and not virtual, in a public park challenging their mental skills while enjoying the fresh air of a beautiful Autumn day.
A shirtless, gray-haired man ponders upon his plan as his younger opponent deliberately makes his next move in a friendly game of chess held in late afternoon alongside a quiet village side street in Subic, Zambales, Philippines.

Although it is not the most valuable piece, the queen is the most powerful piece in the game of chess.

Dedicated to you, for the good and bad times we spent together, this chess game one day we started it and finished it, there where dreams and reality come together I will always be waiting for you. If one day you see this photo remember that I have always loved you, I love you, I will love you and you will always be my Raquel.

Chess,
I took a photo of the chess game.
If you want to win a game of chess you need to attack ON THE SIDE to destabilize your opponent and win the game :).

Taken for the Macro Monday theme "Backlit".
This was taken of a small glass chess set. 3 squares on the chess board were about 3 inches across. The only light source was from behind the chess set.
HMM!
Hello amazing Flickr people!!
Today is a pink or purple day at Color My World Daily. And the theme ay Make Me Smile on Saturday is pawn.
Since I had a day off yesterday, and it was a very beautiful and sunny day I decide to do some gardening… My sons helped me, and we did very good. So, know our backyard is officially open for spring and summer. I’m a little bit nostalgic thinking about all the awesome parties with friends and family we had last year… I truly hope it will be possible to have people over this summer… We love garden parties in my family…On Monday they will announce a plan for the reopening of economy but I don’t think that garden parties are on the list yet…
And since I worked the whole day outside, I took my picture at the very last minute … There was a lot of concepts and ideas but at the end here is my choice. And as you can see, I have no idea how to play chess… And since I’m a hoarder I have a chess game in my garage, even if I don’t know how to play lol
Of course, I will try to catch up with all your awesome comments and photostreams during the week-end.
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts / positive vibes!! It is truly appreciated! I sincerely hope everyone is all right and you all have everything you need to survive this with a smile! Have a great day and see you soon!!
The queen is the only piece on the board during a chess game that represents a woman, and she is the most powerful piece of the game. In short, the queen is so powerful because its relative value is 9 which is higher than any other chess piece. It has the maximum mobility and combined power of rook and bishop. It can even checkmate a lone king with a king.
La reine est la seule pièce sur le plateau pendant une partie d'échecs qui représente une femme, et elle est la pièce la plus puissante du jeu.
The most famous chess scene in films is still Ingmar Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal” (1957). The story is set within the context of a world engulfed by the Black Death. The recently returned crusading knight (played by Max von Sydow) engages in a winner-take-all chess game with the Devil.

The Pale Horse is often used as a symbol of death or war. In the Book of Revelation which deals with the prophecy of the final Apocalypse, the last of the four horsemen rides on the pale horse: “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” (Revelation 6:8).
A third reference to the Pale Horse comes in my favourite Clint Eastwood western, “Pale Rider”. Once again, the imagery is taken from Revelation, and it is the story of a preacher who is on a mission for divine justice against a group of outlaws who have been terrorising a town. This preacher brings with him death and damnation and takes no prisoners. "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord."
E' probabilmente la partita a scacchi più famosa d'Italia, anche se quasi nessuno sa chi la vince. Forse perché è importante la scacchiera, sulla piazza centrale di Marostica, in Veneto, e ancora di più i pedoni, figuranti in costume rinascimentale chiamati a rievocare una partita a scacchi che, nel XV secolo, risolse una tenzone che rischiava di degenerare in guerra.
All'epoca (era il 1454) Marostica era alleata di Venezia. Due cavalieri, Rinaldo d'Angarano e Vieri da Vallonara, si innamorarono entrambi della bella Lionora, figlia del governatore di Marostica, e per lei si sfidarono a duello. Il governatore, che non voleva inimicarsi nessuno dei due, decise che avrebbe dato in sposa la figlia a colui che avesse vinto una partita "al nobile giuoco degli scacchi" tenuta con pezzi viventi nella piazza d’armi. Lo sconfitto sarebbe diventato lo stesso suo parente sposando la sorella minore di Lionora, Oldrada.
In ricordo di questo evento, ogni due anni a settembre a Marostica si gioca, nella splendida piazza Castello, la Partita a scacchi viventi. Non potendo riprodurre le mosse originali dei due contendenti, andate perdute, si è scelto di rifarsi a classicissime degli scacchi, ovvero due partite note come l'Immortale e la Sempreverde.
It is probably the most famous chess game in Italy, although hardly anyone knows who wins it. Perhaps because the chessboard is important, on the central square of Marostica, in Veneto, and even more so the pedestrians, appearing in Renaissance costumes called to recall a chess game that, in the fifteenth century, resolved a combat that risked degenerating into war.
At the time (it was 1454) Marostica was an ally of Venice. Two knights, Rinaldo d'Angarano and Vieri da Vallonara, both fell in love with the beautiful Lionora, daughter of the governor of Marostica, and they challenged her to a duel. The governor, who did not want to antagonize either of them, decided that he would marry his daughter to the one who had won a game "to the noble game of chess" held with living pieces in the parade ground. The loser would become his own relative by marrying Lionora's younger sister, Oldrada.
In memory of this event, every two years in September in Marostica the living chess game is played in the splendid Piazza Castello. Not being able to reproduce the original moves of the two contenders, lost, we chose to refer to very classic chess, or two games known as the Immortal and the Evergreen.
Es probablemente el juego de ajedrez más famoso de Italia, aunque casi nadie sabe quién lo gana. Tal vez porque el tablero de ajedrez es importante, en la plaza central de Marostica, en Veneto, y más aún, los peatones, con trajes renacentistas llamados a recordar un juego de ajedrez que, en el siglo XV, resolvieron un combate que se arriesgó a degenerar en la guerra.
En el momento (era 1454) Marostica era un aliado de Venecia. Dos caballeros, Rinaldo d'Angarano y Vieri da Vallonara, se enamoraron de la hermosa Lionora, hija del gobernador de Marostica, y la desafiaron a un duelo. El gobernador, que no quería contrariar a ninguno de los dos, decidió que casaría a su hija con la que había ganado un juego "para el noble juego de ajedrez" celebrado con piezas vivas en el patio de armas. El perdedor se convertiría en su propio pariente al casarse con la hermana menor de Lionora, Oldrada.
En memoria de este evento, cada dos años, en septiembre, en Marostica, el juego de ajedrez en vivo se juega en la espléndida Piazza Castello. Al no poder reproducir los movimientos originales de los dos contendientes, perdimos, elegimos referirnos al ajedrez muy clásico, o dos juegos conocidos como el Inmortal y el Evergreen.
