From the title of the thread, I thought you were going to show evidence for chess being a lot older than people thought - with cave paintings of neanderthal chess sets. 
However... I like your setup - it looks nicely conducive to study.
Chess Cave Pictures
Sort:
They did translate some cave drawings into common language, and it said something like "Why won't people resign in lost positions?"
Holy cow! That must have taken a lot of glue to keep the books, boards, pieces, and tables from sliding to the floor!
You even tacked a rug up on the wall!
Here's my setup. It's nothing special, and I've been relegated to the basement, but it suffices.

:D
One word Stalemate!
Thanks Ace_Club. I like 'em; doesn't have to be fancy.
From another player:
... and yes, it never looks that neat: computers, books, random "stuff" that gets put on the table when it's the "nearest flat surface". 
Usually a coaster or two for coffee mugs etc as well ... use your imagination!

It was a very good idea to set up this forum. I will not post any pictures. Suffice to say that after looking at these few, I feel quite normal now. I wasn't sure at first!
Play on! Play on!
@ollave, that's a really nice chess table. Is it commercially available?
Wise words

When I first read the title I thought someone had found prehistoric cave walls w/ chess pieces drawn on them....Wouldn't that have been wild ?
I wasn't thinking 'mancave' stuff.
Nice pictures -thanx
White seems to have the advantage, Ace Club. [comment 6]

Ollave, inquiring minds want to know. Where did you get that chess table? It is quite nice.
This pic was posted by BigKingBud in his thread House of Staunton "Classic 3.75". I enjoy the threads where people post photos of chess sets and equipment, but also especially like pictures of chess caves or study areas/office setups, so I thought I'd use this picture to start a thread about that.
