DescriptionA group of five men gathered around a checkerboard. Two of the men face each other, seated on opposite sides of the board. The other men sit or stand observing the game. Both of the competitors look down at the board; one appears ready to move, and the other appears to contemplate his next move. Filing cabinets and shelves containing documents and books are visible in the background. A photo on the wall may be of Theodore Roosevelt.
