Looks like cover artwork from Stephanie Myers' recent trash...errrr...works of literature. Get excited when I do my groceries and pass the book aisle thinking "Wow, a chess-themed book?" before I do a "Oh, #@$@, it's that book again".

The same thing happened to me. 

Barnes and Noble sells white and red sets, because of Twilight hype.

My dad was out and bought me mints at a gas station. He thought'd I'd like it "because it had a chess piece on it." 

Indeed, it featured that picture.

I now have vampire-fresh breath 

Sadly, girls still aren't pouring over me...

this is a pretty good chess novel if your ito that sorta thing:

My favorite European queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Pretty painting. But when it comes to royalty, I'm all for regicide!

hey, pictures are back :)

This would present a dilemma for you if you received a proposal of marriage from a Prince Charming. No?

I'm against marriage as well. Especially of the amphibious kind.

Are you high?

Oh dear.

"Hey, Johnny, What are you rebelling against?"

"What've you got?"

I should say so. And quite wide.

(It's not a bad idea to use a maximum width of 600 pixels for inserted pictures, and to reduce the resolution so the total size is less than 1 MB.)

I think you jumped the gun on that quote. Kings, Queens, and marriage, doesn't make me a "Wild One". Just reasonable.
