C. Escher's print "Named Impossible Chess" With the help of AI, I was able to restore the digital image. Most of the copies of this painting have been photoshopped to enhance the color and crop off the signature line. The painter signed the painting in Spanish. "Los Jugadores de Ajedrez" 1976 Sandor Balatoni Pongo. My research identified Balatoni Pongo as a dual-surname. I found Sandor Balatoni in San Francisco CA. But he lived from 1915-1979. He died three years after the painting was signed. r the painting was signed, and 7 years after Escher died. I don't know how to post the image file. I don't have a URL. The painting is an "Impossible Chess" game with pieces from both sides of the chessboard are warring with each other. The bottom side of the board has impossible ladders raised to climb to the top side. It's a disgrace that such an amazing painting and painter are not given the credit they deserve. Sandor Balatoni is an Hungarian name. The Pongo surname would be his Spanish speaking wife's surname. I San Francisco Sandor Balatoni was a photographer who sold his pictures to for postcards. Does anybody here know anything about about him. You can find the print for sale on Etsy as "Impossible Chess" by MC Escher!!! denisjolson http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAnO_4nQsM 2026-07-14T21:57:58.466657 http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICA3MzFnwsM 30 minutos en hacerla<p><a href="/cube/figure/image/the-impossible-pagoda"><img src="/cube/figure/thumbnail/the-impossible-pagoda" border="0" alt="the impossible pagoda" title="the impossible pagoda"/></a></p> benjidavidsilvia http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICA3MzFnwsM 2026-07-11T01:07:43.891266 http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICA3LXshwsM es pequeño <p><a href="/cube/figure/image/peque241o"><img src="/cube/figure/thumbnail/peque241o" border="0" alt="pequeño" title="pequeño"/></a></p> benjidavidsilvia http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICA3LXshwsM 2026-06-25T01:01:07.674267 http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAnJ3ZngsM muy complejo... demasiado<p><a href="/cube/figure/image/monton-de-formas-imposibles"><img src="/cube/figure/thumbnail/monton-de-formas-imposibles" border="0" alt="monton de formas imposibles" title="monton de formas imposibles"/></a></p> benjidavidsilvia http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAnJ3ZngsM 2026-06-13T00:34:51.779129 http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAnJ2khwsM Where da cube go?<p><a href="/cube/figure/image/Anti-Cube"><img src="/cube/figure/thumbnail/Anti-Cube" border="0" alt="Empty Penrose-Cube" title="Empty Penrose-Cube"/></a></p> kuchenmeistergr@wsdstudent.net http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAnJ2khwsM 2026-01-14T01:42:54.527722 http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICA3NWXiwsM Cube is missing<p><a href="/cube/figure/image/Anti-Cube"><img src="/cube/figure/thumbnail/Anti-Cube" border="0" alt="Empty Penrose-Cube" title="Empty Penrose-Cube"/></a></p> kuchenmeistergr@wsdstudent.net http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICA3NWXiwsM 2026-01-13T15:56:14.168235 http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAnPy4hgsM One cube to boggle them all<p><a href="/cube/figure/image/The-True-Impossible-cube"><img src="/cube/figure/thumbnail/The-True-Impossible-cube" border="0" alt="Infinite Reverse Penrose cube" title="Infinite Reverse Penrose cube"/></a></p> kuchenmeistergr@wsdstudent.net http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAnPy4hgsM 2026-01-13T15:44:52.418471 http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAvLuBiAsM Stairs by victojoy<p><a href="/cube/figure/image/Stairs-by-victojoy"><img src="/cube/figure/thumbnail/Stairs-by-victojoy" border="0" alt="Stairs by victojoy" title="Stairs by victojoy"/></a></p> bazya1337 http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAvLuBiAsM 2024-03-09T13:47:24.979435 http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAvMaKkAsM Z-cubicle, because there is a letter Z in the middle, i just not good at naming this stuff. <p><a href="/cube/figure/image/Cubicle"><img src="/cube/figure/thumbnail/Cubicle" border="0" alt="Z-Cubicle" title="Z-Cubicle"/></a></p> danutaufikpradhana http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAvMaKkAsM 2022-12-10T07:58:09.675265 http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAnK_wgAsM This is my first impossible figure lol.<p><a href="/cube/figure/image/Cube-345"><img src="/cube/figure/thumbnail/Cube-345" border="0" alt="Cube-345" title="Cube-345"/></a></p> alexshelezyaka http://im-possible.appspot.com/post?post_key=ag5zfmltLXBvc3NpYmxlMnIVCxIIQmxvZ1Bvc3QYgICAnK_wgAsM 2022-02-11T10:24:29.166092
