AI Chinese Chess Prompts

Prompt Oct 30, 2026 · English

Flat overhead view of things laid out on a table, everything parallel to the frame, showing a Xiangqi board with a distinct oil smudge on one corner and a coffee ring stain on the 'General's' starting position. The camera uses an old manual 50mm lens wide open, creating a soft glow around bright edges. One low desk lamp casts a warm pool of light on the table and dark walls, with a very low horizon where two thirds of the frame is ceiling. A grey ash cigarette butt with a red filter lies on the table next to the set. A slight grease fingerprint is visible on the side of the 'Cannon' piece. Shot on a 50mm lens, the image features soft focus, warm color cast from the lamp, and visible grain.
