i think you've got the idea right... but the piece which you are focusing on needs to be tack sharp... otherwise the story doesn't work.

cheers

I could not make out what the primary subject. Perhaps you can consider put the black "King" in sharp focus and surround it with attacking pieces - blurry white pieces ... like in a check fashion.

You could also add in a white attacking piece (within DOF) showing the fingers of the opponents moving the piece to an attacking position.

regards,

Arthur

Redline,

It must be difficult to use that well practised panning technique of yours will subjects that don't move.

Cheers

interesting shot
are the pieces on a board? as soon as i see chess pieces, i try to work out what the next move should be, but this doesn't look to be on a board
i like yeosca's idea of putting the fingers of an opponent in to add tension
