Why Holden, you lovely man. If it was going to be a Duchamp painting, rather than the other things, that would be the one - Portrait de joueurs d'echecs. As the Francophile Dan no doubt knows, échec is french for 'failure', so 'the players of failure' as well as the players of chess.
Perhaps more appropriate for lawyers, although not WAC, of course - Three Standard Stoppages
