 These people were at it for hours - I walked off, come back a long time later, and the same people would be duking it out on the chess board. And they were *good*!

Side note: so I'm leaning over getting this shot and a lady with a camera is walking by. She looks at me and says "I'll bet that's a cool shot!" and practically shoves me out of the way to get her shot. Then she ran over and showed her friend/husband/manager/whatever her awesome photo. I was laughing too hard at her to take her photo :(

This is at Millenium Park, the street light in the bg is the corner of Monroe and Michigan.

The great equalizer... Great editing - the selective desat works well!

Very cool. I like that hint of the de-saturated red here and there. It's gritty, just like the guys playing the game. NICE.

Dang...you are finding things in my city that I dont even know about. I know other street chess locations...but I cannot place that one. Is it by the art institute?
