Battle On The Chess Board

Battle On The Chess Board

April 20, 2008

 

Someone said “Winning isn’t everything”

But losing cost so much

It depends what game we are playing.

 A battle on the chess board leaves

Casualties and captives,

Leaves victors and heroes

 Kings rise to lead to victory

Against another king

And victory for one is loss for another

 Decisions on the board

are like decisions in life

With consequences great and small

 Give in to evil passions

Or pursue what’s right

Face life or death

 Winning is everything

Because losing cost too much

Life is the game we’re playing.

I have loved playing chess for many years.  Come visit me on gameknot.com or chess.com.  My username on both is "CurtimusMaximus".  Challenge me to a game!  Or, I suppose we could play in person too.  Let's do it.
