The image showcases two prestigious universities, Oxford and Cambridge, competing in a chess match during the 19th century. The chessboard is meticulously set up with its contrasting squares creating an intriguing pattern. Each chessman stands tall on their designated spot, ready for strategic moves that will determine victory or defeat. Two male competitors sit opposite each other engrossed in the game, showcasing intense concentration and focus.
