Two men are engaged in a game of chess at a concrete table in a public space. One man, wearing a dark jacket and cap, is concentrated on the board while the other, in a gray jacket, observes intently. Nearby, another person is sitting, focused on their own chess game, with a chessboard bag and a bright blue shopping bag beside them. People walk by in the background amid a modern urban setting with concrete structures and banners hanging from the building.
