| I loved this shot the first time I saw it. You executed this beautifully! You should have scored much higher... |

| I agree with all the comments here! Very cool shot! The motion was a great touch. The lighting, framing and DOF are all perfect. No 1's, so you must have not gotten "too" torched for game vs. sport issue. |

| This is a great shot. I'm sure tons of people have said this isn't a sport, but i'm giving it a 10. |

| A very interesting chess shot. I like the motion blur on the pawn in the middle of the row of pawns. I personally don't see chess as a sport, but I like this shot. Nice sepia tones and interesting concept. |

| great chess shot. the movement of the pawn is great...wish i knew how you did it! The lighting is good too - I can't tell if I like the fact that the queen is brighter than all the other pieces. nice work. |

| Outstanding. Beautifully done image. The moving king pawn opening is a great touch. Lighting is spectacular. Framing is terrific. Hope this image is not hurt by those that think chess is "not sports". One of the best in this challenge. |

| Wonderful lighting. I think as a photo it would be better without the motion blur, but then, action is suppose to be shown, so well done. |

| The lighting here is very cool... and the action of that one moving pawn is great :-) I'm not sure how you did that (a string?) without using your fingers but it's pretty cool, Looks like they are moving on their own accord, hence playing a sport :-) I like your spotlighting effect here, very nicely done. This is a good artsy take on sports challenge. I can't decide whether it is a sport or not, but I was kind of looking for human interaction (thats my point of view) still a solid -8- though. nice job :-) |

| Definately the best chess picture in this challenge! Nice use of light and shadows! Original touch of having motion blur on one of the pawns. - 10 |

| I like the colors and the lighting, but I don't care for the blur on the front pawn very much, I think it takes away from the rest of the photo. Also I like the border, works well with this photo. |

| I still say chess is a game and not a sport, but no matter.. I think this is a great picture. Might like to see a bit more of the board or a tighter crop on the right side. |

| Needs to be slightly sharper, and is chess a sport? Nice lights though, and I like the movement on teh right. |

| How you can move the pawn? Great shoot. A little bit dark side but still a good job. |
