Zugswang

by Golden AnGel Rhapsodist   Oct 22, 2016


You made your first move with your pawn
what a nice opening,
I saw your bishop wanted to attack
It's that the blitz old thing?

Remember I am a master not a Patzer
You thought that I'm the weaker,
I will not do the "desperado"
let me just do the "Fianchetto"

You placed your king near with mine
Do you think I will resign?
I'll place my knight near you
Now what will you do?

I will catch you by this Isolated Pawns
Dear! there's no way back home
My Pawns are now promoted,
Your game is now unrated...
touch move , wrong move
Checkmate!

    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.

      Hi Dib,

      1st -thanks for the comment
      2nd- yah it's about life, I'm the master of my own and I will not or will never Quit(resign), even this life get too tough I will not choose to move desperately,I preferred (Fianchetto) a long move but sure...

      It's always a matter of choice.

      3rd- thanks for calling me Gee... only close friends use to call me that name

    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
