Hi,
Are Chris Bird/Irina Krush/Akobian playing a joke on us?
The board is backwards, with the White square on the left… and 1 1/2 moves have been played.
The photo was reversed. To see it correctly, put it up to a mirror.
Where are the kings and queens? And what 1 1/2 moves have been played?

White has played d4 & c4 while Black has played … e6. Online, it was easy to zoom in and also note the watch and ring were on the “wrong” hand as well. If Black is right handed, the scoresheet was on the wrong side as well.
It is surprisingly easy to reverse a photo in putting together a page.
