Oppose. The composition of the picture, and the colours, aren't all that interesting, I'm afraid... Enochlau 02:01, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Oppose. I agree with Enochlau's points. Mgm|^(talk) 10:11, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)
Oppose. --Thomas G Graf 13:13, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Oppose, agree with Enochlau, also, the chess pieces are cheap plastic and look worn-- Chris 73 Talk 00:47, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)
Neutral. It can be tough to illustrate a concept, so full marks for the idea and setup. Its just that it fails to grab my attention. Possibly cropped a little too tightly too. -- Solipsist
Oppose. uninteresting - I also don't know how well it illustrates the concept because in many (most?) chess games the king is never taken i.e. the checkmate position ends the game, not the king's death. -Lommer | ^talk 06:04, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Traditionally, when you are checkmated (or believe you will be) you resign the game by laying your king down, as shown in the photo.
