What scene could better illustrate this book than that of the Barsoomian "chess" game in progress, replete with pomp, decadence, and warriors battling to the death? 2/4

@MichaelWhelan BTW Your Alt Texts are excellent and always fascinating. I don’t need them for vision accessibility, but I always read them because every one of them has a nugget of insight or draws my attention to a detail I might otherwise have missed.
