Very individual very hard to read "Iron nail style" (鐵釘流) inscription.
Title,
唐人對棊圖 - Tang peoples playing qi (Chess)
辛巳夏日冩 - Painted on a Summer Day in the Year of Metal-Snake (2001)
Ⅹ X X X 居  (Four characters in the signature are illegible to me)
The upper seal reads,
李 - Li - Surname of artist
The lower seal is too blurred to read.

With regards,
I.Nagy
