Playing "blindfold" chess with "invisible" pieces. Grandmasters typically play blindfold chess with computers, but amateurs usually use a board without pieces.

It looks to me to be a clear case of a draw due to insufficient material.

OTOH, it may be a new blindfold chess variant. As many are aware, there exists gifted individuals who can play chess without seeing the board. This might be a game in progress featuring imaginary pieces.

Of course, "touch move" might be a little difficult to enforce!

:D

I think they're playing either Checkers or Knightmare Chess.

Very good picture. You can easily ;) play with it even without the game itself, and it does not depend on your material possibilities.
