Default Chess is boring, or energy drinks don’t work? For Ben

Seen early yesterday afternoon in Bryant Park. Nowhere near the competitive level of chess in Washington Square Park.

The old Guy looks like me trying to sort things out. Very funny. It was hot & humid yesterday. Not exactly the weather to sharpen the senses. Nicely framed and seen.

Are you sure the young one is not waiting for the other one to wake up so they can make a start?
Nice.

I'm not a chess gambler, but I can't understand how the white pawn has arrived there.
Nice moment. I like it.

How?
Guess if you know the game well you would understand.
Had it been my image the white pawn would have been the result of Reutering.
I guess the young guy is in as close to a panic as you get with chess?

Ben, Falstaff, Bartomeu & JC - thank you.

Rob - Interesting that there is a new verb to describe photo mischief (especially for photojournalism) - "Reutering." Barbara will find that very funny.

Enrico - Thank you, and we are lucky to have this vast and varied, multi-cultural city to prowl with our cameras.

Eheheh... a story full of irony, and really a great tonal range.
One of the best "chess-shots" in this forum, Stu!

Maurizio -

Thank you. Enrico commented how fortunate I was to have a place like New York with all its photo opportunities. This was an opportunity, and a strong arguement for always having a camera with me.

Isn't that an energy drink on the table? What happened???? I love the comedy in this shot.

You're right that it's an energy drink, which I felt enhanced the comic value of the shot.
