Kotor chess club (sign)



I took this shot in Montenegro, in the beutiful town of Kotor. It is a sign beside the entrance of the local chess club. It says "Kotor chess club" (Шах Клуб Котор). I could peek inside and indeed all the chess clubs in the world are very similar.

What I like about it is that the town can be recognized thanks to the logo. The main gate through the walls within it. Actually there is a steep mountain behind the town. Ther Rook is invented or at least exaggerated. I would say the Knight is the most typical chess piece and that its mission here is representing chess as a tower is a quite more ambiguous element.
