"This painting portrays a limited number of chess pieces - two knights, the queen, the king and numerous pawns. The surface resembles the chessboard, albeit incomplete, and it is placed on top of an assembly of books with selected dice. The dice represent a game of chance and refer to life and survival in the midst of war as a game of odds. The chess pieces are not in proper position for a game of chess but do reflect the disarray that comes with real war."
Samuel Bak, Kinder des Holocaust, 2009, p. 44
