Y ahora te mato la dama

And now I'll kill your Queen!. This is a simple vignette, looks like taken from and old book. Again chess as a metaphore of the war. Where is the fun? Probably in the fact that it is ridiculous to wear a uniform to play a table game, or maybe showing intense emotion, the small cannons have some charm here. It is a pity that the cannon is not a piece in Western chess (it is in Chinese chess, though). In total I would say this comic strip is not funny, but it is charming.

The World in a Pawn

The World in a Pawn, or maybe America in a Pawn. I do not remember from where I took this. I think it was from a commercial, not specifically chess context.

We have a white pawn on a dark square. The black and white image suggests seriousness, the pawn and the map evoke strategy. For sure it is an image for businness.
