B&W The Chess Player

I took this photograph in Brick Lane in Londons East End that at weekends is a vibrant market. The old man is a chess player in the market who plays 3 chess games at once. The young boy played the old man and won, the atmosphere was amazing with everyone watching and everyone was captivated by the chess match.
