I'm renovating my room and the typical cars, anime, girls in bikini's are boring posters hanging on an 18 year old guy's wall. I thought chess would be quite interesting on my bedroom wall as means of decoration.

His "Portrait of Chess Players" ( -> xroads.virginia.edu ) should not be too difficult to find a print of. There is also his "The Chess Game" ( -> www.toutfait.com ). On the web it is much easier to find a picture of him sitting across a chessboard from a nude Eve Barbitz--this might be more appropriate for a college dorm room. This page ( -> www.chessgraphics.net ) might be of some value.
