This is very hard to see visually, and has no impact.

My image came in 37th, and still had the above scores.

I voted 100% and marked your photo a 5.
your image finished at 4.9704 so I was fairly close.

Do not be angry with the voters out loud, the comments will help you in future challenges.

There are several ellements why voters from a photographic point of view would vote down.
1. the vertcal edge on the right does not line up with the frame.
2. the white chess pieces appear to be leaning to the left
3. the contrasting color of the wall is not doing the image any favors
4. and in this image a tighter crop still useing the 1/3 rule would have given more impact.
