@ Genny - sorry for the late response. The incandescence is on 0. I tried a negative value earlier hence the illusion of it being on.
About the ref - I don't want to imitate it, it's gust the general direction. If I hadn't known where these type of projects go in my case (some forgotten corner since I don't know where to start) I'd try to create a scene of a cafe / park with a table and the chess set.

Benny
