But... they're all bishops!

Dildo chess set (NSFW, probably). Other suggestive chess sets, part of a small collection of, er, pawnography.

Brings a whole new meaning to "beating the bishop."

i like the fact that the guy who has the photo collection of sexy chess sets lists his email address like a personal ad (Vegard Krog Petersen, 35 years, male, librarian, Norway) and enjoys many hobbies, of which chess apparently isn't included. (My interests include computers, freeware, literature, games, fantasy & science fiction, medieval history, and deep sea fishing. I'm also fat and lazy, but my girlfriend Heidi likes me anyway!... :-) )

Exactly what about "dildo" wouldn't be NSFW provided you didn't work for a sex toy company?

Oh, well, yeah I did. Pretty soft-core, that. But on the whole, point taken.

hardly surprising, considering the oedipal subtext of chess: disabling the king, especially by separating him from his queen, if not capturing her outright.

Welcome to the world of LoveChess! With its combination of erotica and chess, LoveChess was the first erotic game that showed sexual action in a stylish, humorous and light-hearted way. Now, this unique concept got even better with the release of Lovechess : Age of Egypt.
Yea, King Tut was apparently the result of about a dozen consecutive brother-sister marriages, so i guess it's a game the whole family can enjoy.

I hate the NSFW tag. What kind of workplace would punish a worker for seeing a dildo, but tolerate surfing MetaFilter all day? Other than Liberty University, I mean.
This W-place made famous by NSFW... does it exist?

I think the idea is that if someone walks past your cubicle and sees you browsing photos of vulva, they may react differently than if they see you looking at a screen full of words.

Huh, pawnography. Grammar Moses, you're naughty.
Must be something in the air, pre-Spring hormones or something I was also going to do a naughty fpp, not really pr0n but yeah, maybe it is, probably way too graphic, and didn't have the guts.
A scantily clad chessplayer on the hallway floor. But why?
In keeping with the odd chess set theme, one made with co-axial cable connector gizmos.
Googling chess + sex I came across this fun video animated short but I have no idea why the sex tag was included. Chess Wars.

There are an increasing number of companies that will tolerate a lot of more-or-less recreational web browsing from work, as long as you're getting your stuff done. I've worked at some.
However, porn on the company computer would get you an immediate referral to HR for termination at pretty much every place I've ever drawn a paycheck, independent of their feelings on browsing. Reading Metafilter is goofing off. Looking at porn is putting the company at risk of a sexual harassment lawsuit.
There's a vast gaping chasm between Metafilter and porn, as intellectually masturbatory as it sometimes gets...

I once saw a great Elvis chess set in a shop in Sydney.
The pawns were pills, the rooks were graceland, the knights were cadillacs, the queen was Priscilla, the bishops were burgers, and the king was of course Elvis.
I wish I bought it, but I was an unemployed bum at the time.
