I enjoy this. The golden olive tones about the left player and the pale blue and pinky blond tones about the right wonderfully flesh out the colour of black vis a vis white in your original interpretation. (211/245? Golly, you'd think digital photographers would be better at numbers).

You should have waited about three more moves to see how the game develops...

Funny juxtapostion of the pieces and the players themselves. Good stuff. Though maybe a slightly higher or lower angle just for added effect. Still ingenious entry. Bummer on the score.

Peter, people should be more open-minded. This is a fabulous interpretation of the challenge. Sure, the background is a bit distracting, but it is a most interesting shot with more layers than the eye candy often seen here.

Clever take, with the literal chess board and the skin colors.

Sorry, but IMHO the description was pretty clearly that the photo should look like a black and white picture, not symbolize the many possible meanings of black and white.

Nice colors, and the attention is drawn to the B&W subject, the chess board. Good composition.

I really like the idea of this shot. Very clever with the use of black and white on the chess board and with the players. i do feel the lighting seems to be a bit harsh, though this could have been an impromtu shot and you might not have been able to set up a better lighting situation.

I was viewing this challenge as a b&w recreation... that asider I feel the lighting is flat on this shot. and there is too much in the background. It would have deon the picture more justice if they were against a wall playing. something more solid

This is the most creative interpretation I have seen. Extra points for the smile. 10

As an editorial or human intrest shot, this is nice. The "art" of the challenge was missed. I do, however, like this shot.

I find the background busy and distracting. I like the double use of B&W, and how you titled your image.

Great photo for this challenge - like the double meaning/interpretation

I like the idea .... I think maybe could be improved for this challenge by having a different background, maybe a white or black sheet and the same over the table

Great subject(s)! I love it that the players are white and black too. Lighting doesn't quite do it for me... I start to lose the face of the person on the left in the background and there's too much dark background visible.

Hm, nice idea although it does not fit completely - :o)
