A picture worth several words...

Our town's "community guide" describes the various businesses and events one can find here, filled out with lots of ads. The usual thing...

I did a double-take with the ad on the back.

"Dedicated to helping you reach your financial goals through results based redacted" OK, fine. But that chess layout is impossible to achieve without cheating. The picture presumably has something to do with how the company gets results. So is the picture supposed to illustrate the impossibility or the cheating?

I have to figure that the marketing arm was thinking no deeper than "Chess requires planning; chess players are smart; nice wooden chess sets suggest old money." That they may be hurting themselves with that sector of the market which knows the rules of movement for chess pieces they have not taken into account.
