you can feel them, absorbed by the game, not caring about the viewers..
great choice of monochrome, David..

Postscript: white is playing a dangerous gambit with such a large split in his lines.

A great way to spend the day. The light is perfect and the image in B&W really draws you to the two fellows.....I don't think it would have the same effect in color. Great job! V

A great study of these players, love the concentration on 'white's' face and also the inclusion
of the watching figure. What a delightful way to spend one's time. V

Some say, chess is like drug, it causes dependence, so these chess addicts really focuses on the game and light is perfect. Good work!
