www.one-more-move-chess-art.com
A young man is pictured playing chess with the Devil.
It appears the young man is in checkmate. Meaning,the Devil won the game.
But years after, the painting was put on display. And a chess master saw it and studied the board.
"The popular story that the king has one more move is recounted again and again even today about a chess master (often unnamed) who “encounters” a copy of the Moritz Retzsch painting "Checkmate" (originally titled Die Schachspieler “The Chess Players”) in a museum. He closely examines the chess board and realizes the young man’s chess position is not nearly as hopeless as one might first imagine."
The young man's King has one more move.
An anecdote that may help those thinking there's no next move in their own trials.
