of a King (chess peice) on its side (concedes)

Preferably alone
meaning no other peices viewable. Just the lone fallen king

Cant seem to find that shot.

Barring finding one on the net
Any of you camera gurus up to it?

but when one concedes it doesnt normally show the peice laying on its side.
Least none of the ones I've played do.

Gotta admit. It would make for a cool artistic photography assignment yes?

thats not what I wanted it for. But thinking about it afterwards. It seemed like a cool thought

It would... but I'd have to go out and find better subjects than these beater sets at home.

Actually I am pretty soon going to be making Chess/checkerboards.

I have a buddy that does hardwood flooring and he lest me have whatever scrap he has.
I initially got it for my smoker but it has a funny taste. So Im sitting there looking at it and start fiddling with it and came to the conclusion I could make some really nice chessboards out of the stuff.
All sorts of hardwoods (Some I've never even heard of before) and of different colors.
As the guy does all kinds of fancy inlays and stuff really FANTASTIC work

Oh Screw it. Here's his Website

Extreme Flooring

You wont see it on the website but he has a funny motto
"Just say no to rugs" LMAO

Anyway. Back to chess.
I plan on using some of this wood to make a chessboard. or two.
Once I get it down. Im thinking of maybe selling them.
Actually my thought is to make a board with Draws underneith for the peices. All out of solid hardwood.
