Chess as props in movies. To imply a little class (?), completely undone by bishops moving straight up files, rooks running all over the place and kings moving ever how many spaces! Do u find this irritating?

I can't help but notice things like this. For example, look at this position, taken from the cover of the latest novel by Belgium's most uninspired writer. How did it come about?

I'd say the rook and knight are so much in the shadows that you can't tell that they're actually white pieces. This means that black has just moved and has apparently sacrificed his queen.

... long shot?
