  • Just when I thought we had a trio of Winged pawns another appears.
    Not a quartet. Hard to see the wings attached… rather the fitting… with the wings waiting to be affixed.
    The capacity of the pawn to traverse the entire board and become a Queen will have to wait.
    This kind of transformation or elevation is rare even in real life beyond the game of Chess.
    This work again showcases Bak’s talent to just draw.
