Hi Gel.

First of all best of luck for the Contest.

Very nice crafted work using the chess format. I got the feeling from this write is that you trying to explain, we should always take correct steps in our life, thinking every situation and should walk sans any fear confidently.

Yes, and the last segment is making it more classical.

All the best.

I'm not really that into the game of chess but I'd like to look at this poem as something that is far from the game of chess. The game of life. It's a real battle but if you're strong enough to push yourself to go further, there's always the chance of winning.
Great job Gee, as always.

Gel, I really enjoyed this piece and read it a couple of times. Each time it brought something new and refreshing.

Hello Gel,

this is super. A cleverly thought out poem, using a game requiring the same.

Well done,

Gel,

This is excellent! What a unique idea and how well executed.

I will not do the "desperado"
let me just do the "Fianchetto"

^^

This made me laugh.

Well done,

Ben
