I can barely play chess on a small board, can't imagine trying on something that large. Very interesting subject.
It has a snapshot quality due to the dullness of the background and the natural lighting may have something to do with that as well. The focus looks pretty good, it centers on the older man and he is certainly a point of interest. I would've liked to see more of the actual chess board though I think.
I also wonder if this may not have looked better in black & white as the yellow colors are a bit harsh and the rest of the colors are washed out or dull. I think desaturating might smooth over some of the downsides to the image and give it a clean feel. Might be worth looking at.
A pretty good image, that fits the challenge perfectly. A wider view might have been better but in general its a nice entry with room for improvements. I gave a 4. |

| I think that I'd like to see more of the foreground in sharp focus. |

| I think, even though the colors of the pieces are great, that this would have worked better as a B&W. |
