Thanks! It is live, and I am almost embarrassed to discuss my lighting setup since it is a pretty cheap, but for this shot it is a clamp light pointed at homemade diffuser on the right side towards the front, then on the left side a piece of red poster board. The glass chess board is sitting on a black sheet that extends up to make the background. I can't remember exactly now, but I am pretty sure that I had some black fabric on the right side to block some of the light. I still have the shot setup, so I will grab a pic tonight.
My friend wanted the pawn to seem isolated and defeated so I was trying to use as little light as possible. I think I brought the exposure up a bit when I processed the raw file, then tweaked the levels and curves a bit.
Sean, thank you very much for the detailed description!
There is absolutely nothing to be embarassed of! I enjoy the good DIY that makes a good photo possible as much as I enjoy the photo itself.

Not a great shot technically (I wanted to use the same light that is used for the original), but you can see the setup.
Yup
These are not Mac screen captures. Shot with the gear in sig.

Sometimes I remember I used to participate very much
Times are changing fast now.
Russia is not an enemy now.
Another eastern empire is rising fast and spreading all over the World.
My parents bought this game in Russia quite some time ago.
I suspect that if I went to Russia these days, in the reverse of the game would be: Made in China.

I like the concept!
Background is a bit distraction, though...
