This is a 1986 print by Gerd W. Bieberich. It shows a chessboard with silver and golden pieces. The title hints at danger: the viewer may be the golden pawn about to be taken. It’s an early 3D computer image made with ray tracing. Bieberich used a special math trick called VERA to make light and reflections look real. Look up Gerd W. Bieberich.
