Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box. In life and death we are equal.

HMBT!
This weeks theme of the 'Smile on Saturday' group is 'PAWNS'. I have had this chess game for many years but rarely use it nowadays as nobody wants to play with me and I think the chess pieces were happy to leave their box for a moment. The match ended quickly, though, as the white pawn surrended to the 'enemy' before the had even started to play. :) HSoS !
For this week's MacroMondays challenge "Board game pieces".

Un gioco a scacchi così: all'aperto con scacchi giganti.
...
Incamminandosi solo per poco , ecco un altro angolo, certo vicino all'Hotel.

A chess game like this: outdoor with giant chess.
...
Just walking along, here is another corner, certainly close to the Hotel.
Lovely Ponny at the #meetmuc15 meetup - going through photos from last year again because there are still so many!!
I've always been amused by the painting series Dogs Playing Poker, by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. The series of sixteen oil paintings and a 1910 painting were commissioned by Brown & Bigelow to advertise cigars. Having had cats for most of my life I knew cats would never stoop to playing poker but know they much prefer playing chess.
Combine that with my inevitable attraction to the emerging world of AI "art" and you end up with this image which is a creation using Bing AI Image Creator with a bit of Photoshop magic thrown in.
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.

Larger than life Chess board and Pieces
In regards to scale. Note the size of the fire hydrant for comparison .... the pieces are large
A special thanks to all my Flickr friends and visitors, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.
I would also, like to extend my thanks, to all those who place my images in their beautiful galleries, or use my images for their covers.
Additionally, I am truly humbled to receive so many thoughtful and generous testimonies. I cannot express how deeply touched and honoured I am, to find such caring and beautifully written words left on my behalf.
Thank-you, thank-you for all the love.

Smile on Saturday theme: "Portray the name of a music band"

The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 17th of September is "tabletop game components". Luckily, I come from a family where tabletop games were something we all played, so for me it was just a choice of what pieces to use. I decided to opt for pieces that mean something to me and are part of my heritage. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week and that it makes you smile!
All the chess pieces behind him were all hand carved by my very gifted and clever maternal Grandfather in 1933. Over the years the wood in the white set has mellowed to a warm honey colour from the many games of chess that he played with the pieces. The black stain used has also withstood the many years of their use. My favourite pieces in the set are the wonderfully carved Rooks and Knights, both of which appear in this shot.
The draughts pieces, although not made by my Grandfather, were his and it was these pieces that he used to teach me how to play draughts. Remarkably, considering they are also from the 1930s, they have survived the years of use and are still brightly coloured.
The chessboard the tabletop game components are on was also made by my Grandfather in 1952. Two chess sets, the draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died a few years ago.

This pawn and the pieces behind it were all hand carved by my very gifted and clever maternal Grandfather in 1933. Over the years the wood in the white set has mellowed to a warm honey colour from the many games of chess that he played with the pieces. The black stain used has also withstood the many years of their use. My favourite pieces in the set are the wonderfully carved Rooks and Knights. Although blurred you can just see them tantilisingly behind my last man standing. I couldn’t not include my beloved favourite pieces in this photograph. The chessboard the pieces are on was also made by my Grandfather in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died a few years ago.
The theme for Smile on Saturday on the 25th of April is “Pawn”. How could I fail to not use these fabulous pieces of my family history, so lovingly made?
Everyone on the web is KOL (Key Opinion Leader). Everyone has great power to influence others. Most of them wants to be a game changer.
I just want to be a game watcher.
Do you want to be a game changer or game watcher?
Have a great evening!

I am always hesitating.
I hesitate if I should take the shot.
I hesitate if I should use the focal length and aperture.
I hesitate if I should post the picture since I have so many of chess series already.
Please let me know what you think about the chess series.
Thank you my friends!
Have a great evening!
