Chess = knight drawing

July.14.2013      DIN-A5      8.3 x 5.8 inch

Description

"Two steps straight, one step to the side" - that is the rule for a game-figure (the knight).

I was young, when another patient in the hospital taught me my the first chess knowledge.

Chess, the 'royal game'.

"Build traps for the enemy, feign a strategy, pursue a different goal in the background and plan as many future-steps as possible."

Is this a game, or is it our normal life?

(in the drawing two peasant figures have a fight)


Note

This is a 'very old drawing':
- so the grid is strongly visible,
- at the edges thick lines apear,
- the shadows on the ground contain clearly visible border-lines

Nevertheless, it is an drawing that I like ('it’s small, but it’s mine').
