Canon vs Nikon lenses as chess pieces

It’s Canon vs Nikon lenses used as chess pieces. The black are Nikons and the white lenses are Canons. The pawns look to be 70-200mm 2.8 zooms which list for around $2,300 a piece. The two rooks look to be 300mm f2.8 telephoto lenses. The knights must be 400mm f2.8 lenses. The bishops look to be 500mm f4 teles. The queen must be a 600mm f4 and the king must be a 800mm f5.6. At current market prices, each side rings in at around $100,000. That’s one expensive chess set!
