Excellent

Well done. I played chess once when I was in college, until my eight-year-old checkmated me in five moves. Humiliating. Yes, and very stimulating. Good luck in the contest.

I get what you mean.

I have seen on the web that there are many brilliant youngsters who participate at competitions.


If the players are about on the same level the game is engaging.
Keep safe!

Thank you for sharing this excellent piece.

You got the syllable counts right for the contest, and I liked that bit of rhyme you included. This poem makes me think I should take up chess. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
