Hi everyone,
We have here a nice chess painting snapshot sent to us by Chess Blog reader Jeremy Andrews from Dublin, Ireland. Here is all the info we have. But then, we love all things chess so here's the lovely photo. You are welcome to send us more info and your own favourite 'chess things' - photos, videos, stories, jokes and more.
