Army Chess Tournament
Israel Fundora, 1973 Army has always been a pride of Cuba. Its independence was brought up on arms, so munitions’ images occur frequently being part of everyday life. And it’s really interesting that very often these instruments of death are pictured in a positive way.
Take this poster. It announces a chess tournament staged during the 10th Cuban Army Festival in 1973 in Havana – the capital of Republic of Cuba. The idea of blending a classic F1 hand grenade with a chess knight is simply brilliant. The eye-catching palette also adds up to the magnetic impression of this poster.

I like the picture, because it shows to us a interesting contrast between war and art-science. It's great.
I loved this poster. I like chess. It is played a lot in Cuba.
