Pretty funny! I'd like it better in color, without the water(?) stains on the board, but it is still a great idea.

Comment by Nuzzer:
The colouration is a little strange and the board would be better lined up with the edges of the frame

Sorry but I don't see the Stupid, Stupid part of this image. The closest I can come to for Stupidity is that the black still thinks they have a chance to win even though there is only one black piece remaining. This image also suffers from poor contrast. The whites need to be whiter and the blacks blacker. I suggest you read the B&W conversion tutorial written by photomann under the Learn/Tutorial menu.

Edit: Now I see the Stupid, Stupid part, as the black piece will actually win. Guess I was too stupid to catch it.

That's pretty stupid!
As a picture it's really dark, I think it'd be improved with some more light or even color. It seems a little bland.

Needs more contrast.

What I like: Great idea, well executed

What I don't like: Constrast seems a bit low, hard to see the black piece, might be a bit overcompressed (looking at the detail around the hand)

Overall the tones in this shot are really flat. I think a bump up in brightness / contrast would help this out a ton. I do like that you've made the viewer stop and think about what it is I'm looking at and you've setup the board perfectly. Few tweaks and I think you'll have something.
