IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

One of the rules in chess is, that you can get back your lost queen. When a pawn
arrives at
the other end of the board, he will be exchanged with the most powerful piece
that is 
no longer on board. And that is exactly what happens on my image. It is late
evening, they
played the whole day. Only the kings and three pawns are left on the board.
Seems that black 
must win, but a white pawn could walk through the enemy lines and call her
majesty back in 
into play.

4. After two months of weary testing, look for a strong CPU, sit back and wait
