Really Big Long Shot.................................?

So the other day I saw this picture and I think it is from a movie. The minimal description is a long shot but...

In the picture there was a guy on the left wearing a coat with brown hair moving a chess piece on a chess board and on the right there was a girl with kind of curly dark hair in a pony tail with a striped shirt looking at him.

Any ideas where this is from????
