Create a minimalist photograph of a chessboard on a plain white background. Only a single row of chess pieces is visible, positioned in the center of the image. Arrange the pieces as follows, from left to right: a black knight, black king, black pawn, white pawn, white knight, and white rook. Ensure each piece is evenly spaced and placed on alternating squares of the chessboard. The chessboard should be a standard 8x8 grid with a light wood finish. Focus on a clean, modern aesthetic with a sharp focus on each chess piece, while keeping the rest of the background blank and white.
