B&w works well here, love the angle, too. Somehow the lighting doesn't conjure up thoughts of rain, but who cares. I would've cropped a smidgen more off the top so that the little bit of black at the top of the chair wasn't there, but that's a very minor change. Good job!
The angle on this picture is awesome. The background fits perfectly with your title and intent. I think that another way of looking at this picture might have been to crop it closer at the bottom to cut out the left corner (word?) and to put a solid black background at the end of the table to make it more dramatic--to fit with the dramatic angle. This is just an idea, of course! I really like this photo.
Nice use of black and white, I would have liked to see someone in the chair, would have added more feeling to this shot, as it stands it looks like an abandoned game.
The lines in the photo seem to lead my eye to the background, which isn't really the main subject. Perhaps some blur in the background through even less DOF may have eliminated this effect. Seeing as the focus is on the middle black piece, you could probably have cropped the bottom to get rid of the edge of the board too.
