 I've always enjoyed a game of chess and thought that it would be fun to shoot a checkmate position with the checked king in focus.

Why does the top of the King look OOF?

Well executed. You got some nice bokeh on the OOF pieces.

Overall it's well done and meets the challenge, though even where the focus obviously is there's some softness, maybe motion blur?
I spent a long time looking at it trying to figure out if it's really checkmate or not, it's been so long since I played chess.
