'A tsumeshogi is a picture of a situation that must be played out; a configuration of concealment that reveals itself to engagement. Anthony's drawings chart another situation and pose a different problem. The pictures, however, have no hidden solution. The air is of concentration, sedimenting time in traces, drawing time into itself; a complicated art, a game for two or more players'. (Sally Tallant)

This puzzle was devised for the exhibition Drawings/Tsumeshogi at the Daiwa Foundation in London. The initial position of Michael's tsumeshogi (an endgame problem in Japanese chess) is the final position of Anthony's drawing. The solution of the chess problem brings you to the initial position for the picture puzzle.
