I got down on my knees so that my eves were on the level of the chess figures. I surrounded the white chess figure whit black figures to create more contrast an though a stronger center of interest. The black figures in the front I made look bigger by installing other chess figures further away in the back. The rule of thirds I broke again because it gave the whole picture a different look in my opinion. I added a contrast and I cropped the picture to get rid of eye distracting things.
