My get-pushed partner challenged me to create a collage where I "shoot small areas of the subject you want to turn into a collage. Try not to post process the photos to keep your final photo unique." The full version of the challenge suggested using an instant or point-and-shoot camera, so I got out my old P&S. I was surprised to find settings on my old camera that I had ignored before I started using a DSLR.
That is very original, your picture popped out on my page at first sight. It is an interesting technique, unknown to me, and the result is intriguing. Also, I think you against you was a good choice of subject. But I wonder who won the chess game :-)
