  Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
  kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
  who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
  and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?

I think this image has one of the best texturing and lighting I have seen
done with POV-Ray in a long time.

  I actually went and tried to replicate the same effect, but was unable to.
My hat goes off to your achievement.

You have made a very nice render! This sort of thing is why some of us were
attracted to using raytracers like POV-Ray in the first place.

> Render time: 8h 25min...

Ouch. Compositing techniques could be used for a scene like this, effectively
speeding up the whole render. If done right, there would be no noticeable
difference from a traditional render. I really should write up a tut about
that...

I tried to shamelessly copy your design with my own chess set, but
I couldn't get even close...

    I'm not putting the OP down here, but when I first looked at the 
original image, I thought that there might be some kind of light-source 
under selected pieces. It's that good.

    Good image Warp, I really like your version too.

You achieve way better than me after more than 10 years!!! I am going to 
hide inside a deep hole in the ground and never come up again....  :-)
