The checkmate in #322 seems to have a double meaning. It looks like neither of them are really paying attention to the game.

I always think of stories when i see a painting like this... she doesn not see it is checkmate (i think she only plays to do him a favor).. he looks a litle irritated ... she never sees it is checkmate ("does she see it now??.. NO!)
hand under her chin seems to say "BORING"... the tilt of his head looks like "a questionmark"
