Week 2: Chess Poems (Made it a CHECKMATE)

Here is the chess poem for week 2.

Week 2: Made it a CHECKMATE 

Kings and pawns can move one square. 

Queens can wander anywhere. 

Kings are limited in gait 

Over-cautious and sedate; 

But when the action gets too hot 

the pawns cannot. 

Kings retreat; 

Pawns must leap into the fray 

Two steps forward; Hip, Hooray; 

Then until the war is done 

They advance, one step by one 

Moving only left and right 

When the enemy's in sight, 

Bishops, hampered by their creed, 

Follow where diagonals lead; 

Whether black or red they be, 

There they cling religiously. 

From the palace to the grave 

Bishops never misbehave. 

Mounted knights are different, though. 

No one follows where they go, 

One diagonal; One ahead; 

Red to black and back to red: 

Charging left or right they ride 

TO attack from any side. 

so in triumph or defeat 

Pawns advance and kings retreat. 

War is fun and so is Chess. 

Peace is dull and effortless. 

What if pawns and bishops die? 

More will follow bye and bye.
