My vote:
#1: OldCrow
Very artistic shot! I like the angle, composition and the depth of field. (Is it me or the pieces are in the middle of the board?  :p Doesn't matter, makes for a good background.)
Been a dozen years since I played a chess game, I liked it but wasn't very good at it...

#2: OhioHick
I'm not that much into landscape photography, but your photo has a wow factor to it. I like the desert/greenery contrast.
Dumb game? ;) While not my cup of tea, I can respect anyone who finds fun in it, and it's far from easy to master even if it's not a "fast" paced sport. And it's a good excuse for getting some exercice. :lol:

#3: hnikesch
Good action freeze, it really captures the subject!
I can't wait until my 4 years old son takes up soccer so I can score some good shots of him too!
