IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
	The first thing I though of when I read the topic was how many times has
someone used a checker piece for that missing pawn.  Like most things missing, 
it is in plain view.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
	I coded the entire image using scene code.

1st, I created the chess board and chess and checker sets.  The one piece I would 
like to work on more is the knight. Many years ago, I had started working on the 
chess set, but lost the code, but it was quickly redone in a day.

I next modeled the table, walls and floor.  First I made a wooden tabletop and 
floor, but that was just too much wood and it looked like the light colored 
squares of the chessboard were clear and showed the table.  I then changed
the floor to look like an old school lunchroom floor and the table to have 
a marble top.

Next, I modeled the bookshelf and created a macro to make a random stack of books
to place in each shelf.

After this, I created the two chairs and the fireplace and other odds and ends.
