  • The disaster of war.
    The battle field littered with broken and decapitated pawns, aka ordinary soldiers, as the Knights prance around the dredge of the encampment.
    More discarded bodies or chess pieces in the background.
    In the foreground, the fragmented chess board.

    Will we ever learn that the rewards of war are tied to death and usually of the lowest on the social register?
