Two chess scenes of the 14th c. in the Arco castle

I agree 
Nice!!!!
Liked the first one most. Don't know why! Wondered if the artist tried to depict certain positions in both.
Κί εμένα μού αρέσει τό πρώτο περισσότερο, ίσως λόγω τού λευκόμαυρου. Συγχαρητήρια καί πάλι, κάθε κείμενό σου έχει ενδιαφέρον. Ευχαρισθώ.
Searching all around for other stuff, I've tracked the following...
They are frescoes, surviving in the ruined Arco castle; Trentino, N Italy [photos can be found in wikicommons collection]. An official site of the commune is dating them generally in the 14th c.
The story of the castle seems a little adventuresome. It changed many hands. First mention is of the early 12th c. of some Federico di Arco; I've read of a possible Italian origin of this Arco family in wiki, while also of a previous Germanic one as arimanni colonists in Cont [2010].
During the 14th c. that interests us, the castle passed through the hands of the Arco family, Castelbarco family & Della Scala family. As the castle returned to the Arcos in the 15th c., I presume that keeping those frescoes is meaning that they were theirs. [sources, wikipedia & Alessandro Cont, Biblioteca comunale di Trento.
