Art Design Brief
I am looking for a large graphic design image file that I can use to be printed for an artwork.
The image I am looking for is a chess board which depicts a "checkmate" position whereby the black pieces has the white pieces in a checkmate position, however the black pieces are significantly outnumbered by the white pieces and the white pieces still has key pieces on the board (e.g. the queen). I would prefer if the image was in a black and white (greyscale) colour scheme.
There are a couple of themes that I am trying to capture in this image, with the key ones being "never give up", "back against the wall", "overcoming adversity", "underdog". With that in mind, I would like this to come through in a subtle manner through the image. Some of my initial thoughts were playing with the focus of the image, increasing the height of certain chess pieces etc.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Most of the designs are not exactly what I am after. Please present a range of views of the chessboard however also keep in mind:
1) The checkmate position needs to be relatively realistic, You can't just have the position in checkmate and all the white pieces still in their original positions. Check is a game of strategy and this needs to come through that white pieces have been strategically moved around
2) The chess pieces need to be slightly realistic - I would like for them not to look too computer generated.

Requirements
Must have
- The themes mentioned in the brief with a particular focus on being subtle
Nice to have
- As much imagery techniques as possible, where possible. For example showing the defeated chess pieces out of play in the background out of focus. One other idea I did have but may be difficult to show is that the white pieces could have been one more move away from having the black in checkmate, however the position of the pieces reflected in the image has the white in checkmate.
