1.e4! This picture can't be serious...or can it?

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!



Gg

I vote photoshop!

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

Who needs pieces? Pawn to e4.

Do we know that they are playing Chess? It could be Checkers! Or Ultima.

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

Where was this picture taken, BTW?
