When I popped into Chichester this morning I found some tables set up in the street so passers by could try their hand at a game of chess in the sunshine. I’ve never shown any aptitude for chess (Kevin tried to teach me and gave up in frustration!) but I couldn’t resist grabbing a few shots as I walked past!

I kind of liked to play chess .. but now is years ago I played ... Nice capture Helen. Ryana · 2012-08-06: 10:35

I dont have the patience to play chess...as far as I am concerned if you can knit a jumper it the time it takes for your opponent to make his move, then that is officially boring! it does make for good photos though... Annbramwell · 2012-08-06: 12:49

Peace, serenity seemingly, strong concentration, instinct of killer... and the sun which shines :)) I like this B&W josy63 · 2012-08-06: 12:56

Very nice street shot... this is common daily on the beach in Santa Monica. I find it fascinating to watch as mostly older men play regularly! DancingDolphin · 2012-08-06: 14:09

Great captures..I never played it..looks like too much thanking..bridge was enough! NellyBly · 2012-08-06: 20:05

I love this! I loved it when we saw men playing chess in NYC. They were so intense. These guys look a bit more laid back! I like playing, too but usually lose! lukesmom · 2012-08-06: 20:13

Nice perspective and lighting! Great balance on B&W work! davidcardona · 2012-08-07: 07:13
