File talk:The Chess Game, by Sofonisba Anguissola, 1555. Oil on canvas. Museum Navrodwe, Poznan, Poland 01.jpg, while the painter does work of obvious quality and sensitivity, what she (nor her sisters) didn't know how to do at age 23 was to play chess. It is embarrassing to point out that the work constructed a chess game with the black square in the right hand corners of the board. Any good chess player knows the first rule of a chess game is to put the white square on your right side! so that opposing queens will sit on their own colors. She was obviously a master of color, light and texture but a neophyte when it came to the game of kings.--Andybeider (talk) 02:40, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
