Chess

“Queen to A2 (Black king in check) Rook to B2… Queen to B2 (Check mate)” Chess - some call it a game - educators call it culture - I call it war!! From pawn to king all that happens in chess… happens in war!! The king rules from the back with his queen, the queen seduces the enemy king, with the king comes his army… …knights, bishops, castles and pawns. He directs and the rest follow, to win is glory… …to fail is total – utter destruction. Never before has a game, culture or war … been so true to life. Chess it’s an enigma.
