    I think this gentleman has a very interesting face. However the railing and post take away from the shot. Also, with some level adjustments you can bring him out a little more. Plus you have some blown out areas on the left. Try some recropping and adjustments and I think you'll have an even better picture.

    Nice candid shot, but I agree, take out the railing it cuts the subject in half.

    I would like to see the man brought out a little more also.

    Two things make this picture work not so well for me.

    First, and as others have mentioned, the railing is distracting.

    Second, considering the title you gave the photograph, there is no chess board...

    The man is a chess player, he was resting a little, then stood up and went back to play. I saw he playing chess.

    What do you mean by some blown areas ?

    I think you need to rotate the image about 3 or 4 degrees clockwise, to adjust the "horizon". Looks like the tree in the background is falling over.
