Father vs Son Chess

The Chess came out last night after having been dormant in a cupboard in our son's room for years. There was a bit of father-son rivalry, of course, but father prevailed! I suspect son will be practising hard before the revenge game!

A very classy black & white capture! Love the eye level POV & great DOF. I suspect you might be right re next game! I think we have rekindled our love of board games, jigsaws etc!

[Sarah Bremner]

Gorgeous photo. Lovely to have special games to play ....enjoy all the family time.

[Casablanca]

Ah we love a game of chess! We just love board games of any sort in our house. This is a beautifully taken shot. Fantastic bokeh. Good luck to your boy for the rematch!

[Wylie]

I can highly recommend 'Queen's Gambit' on netflix if you're into chess!
Nice shot.

[Babs]

Lovely shot and bokeh. The rivalry between father and son must be entertaining to watch.

[Molly]

A traditional family moment captured wonderfully. My mind wandered to a similar father/son rivalry in an episode of Fraser. When finally Fraser was triumphant, he was tormented by the thought that his father had, ‘let him win’... win/win I guess for the senior generation 🤣!!!

[Amanda R.]

Absolutely gorgeous! Perfect composition and the bokeh is the icing on the cake!

[Anja]

Lovely with the bokeh

[Jennie B.]

Fun times and great shot!

Love this. I second the Queens Gambit recommendation. We thoroughly enjoyed it

[Merrelyn]

Lovely image. The Queens Gambit is definitely worth watching - and I'm not a chess player :)

Gorgeous photo, Issi.
Merry Christmas to all of you.

I absolutely love this shot and I will have to dig out our chess set for a Christmas day challenge. There's a lot of Scrabble going on in our house these days. It'll be nice to have a change. Happy Christmas! 🎄

[Judith Johnson]

Love this, so creative, great bokeh. Are you watching The Queen's Gambit in Netflix. It's a chess inspired series and well worth watching.

[Islandgirl]

Wonderful bokeh!

[Kathy]

Beautiful.

[Issi Bannerman]

@casablanca He won last night! Knew he would. ;-)

[Issi Bannerman]

@pusspup @motherjane @merrelyn @busylady Yes, we have watched it (although the kids haven't). Thoroughly enjoyed it!

[Sally Ings]

Fabulous capture, great pov. Sadly chess is not nearly as popular as it used to be. Hopefully the show 'Queen's Gambit' will rekindle some interest.

[Issi Bannerman]

@happypat The revenge was sweet! ;-)

[Tom]

Wonderful dof, bokeh and the hand on the castle
