While the stand-out subject seems to be the white pawn, the focus is not really on it, but the two rooks behind. The composition is cluttered - perhaps if it were just the king and queen - is that your double take? - and the pawn. Or is the double take the two pawns, clear and white? Or maybe you meant the two rooks to be the subject - but they are pushed so far to the back. I guess my main advice is you need to use some photographic tool - focus, light, composition - to help the viewer understand better what is going on in the photo.

Focus seems to be on the the most distant chess pieces. I think you would rather have the two pawns and the king/queen in focus for best impact.

seems to be a lot going on this photo and none of the chess pieces seem to be in focus
