I love this!! Love the motive, love the style, love the colours!! And I love chess!!  
(I grew up in a chess loving family! My father, my brother and an uncle successfully attended chess tournaments in Norway and Europe.  
I have never understood the importance of winning, haha, so I never got especially good!  )

Oh wow, you have chess in your DNA!
I love chess also, but I don't have the "killer instinct" to plan and execute a winning strategy. I am very god at defense and when I win, it's usually because my opponent makes a bad move.
I knew you would love the color.

My «problem» is that I love to make my opponent win and be happy, haha!

OMG, I'm the same. I know I'm no good at chess, but I try to psych out my opponent so they think I have a master plan, and when they win, they feel like they won the lottery! They defeated my master plan! So happy!

I have a love of Chess. so no poetry, no Rambling for me on this marvellous piece - just,''what a wonderful representation of a Beautiful Game. not for inpatient, by the way, not for the short tempered or for the quick finish Brigades, not for those who can't think ahead. 

Strategy and tactics...i would like to have sat down with Napoleon and played Chess sometimes..

Thanks Wayne for the compliment.
