The Rise of the Chess Army: Part 1

Oh chess, the royal game of wit and strategy, a test of patience and cunning, where each piece holds its own purpose, its own power. A battlefield of the mind, where knights clash with bishops, pawns with pawns, and the kings and queens plot their victories. A war that rages not with swords and arrows, but with movements calculated, with tactics devised. The chessboard, a kingdom in miniature, a world of its own, where one's fortunes may be won or lost with but a single stroke of the mind. And so, let us delve into this realm of limitless possibility, where a mere tilt of the head may determine the fate of all.

Once upon a time, in a quiet room where a chessboard was placed, the chess pieces came alive after a long slumber. The chessboard was surrounded by chess pieces who were once just lifeless pieces made of wood, but now they were talking, laughing, and communicating with each other. 

Ah, 'tis a tale of great wonder and excitement, gentle reader! Forsooth, imagine if the mere chess pieces upon a board, long considered as mere symbols of war, were to awaken from their slumber and come alive. Behold, as the pawns stand tall, the knights prance, the bishops bless, the rooks guard, the queen commands, and the king, the very embodiment of might, oversees all. Together, they form a formidable army, marching forward with purpose and strategy, eager to engage in battles untold. And so, let us delve into the wondrous world of chess pieces come alive, as they engage in battles of wit and strategy, each move leading to glorious victory or crushing defeat...

• "Hello my fellow pieces, it seems that we are alive and I am so glad to see you all." The King was greeted by a chorus of excited responses from the other pieces.

The Pawns, who were always the most numerous and often sacrificed, started to ask, "Your majesty, why have we come alive?" The King replied, "I am not sure, but I believe that our purpose is to become an army and conquer the chessboard."

The Knights, who were known for their unique movements, asked, "Conquer the chessboard? How do we do that?" The King replied, "We must work together and use our unique abilities to defeat our opponent."

The Bishops, who were known for their diagonals, interjected, "But we can only move diagonally, how can we conquer the chessboard?" The King replied, "We must use our movements in combination with other pieces to create a strategy that will help us win." 

The Rooks, who were known for their strength and straight movements, chimed in, "I like the sound of that! We'll show everyone what the Rooks are made of! THE ROOK!!"

The Queen, the most powerful piece, praised, "Wow Rook, you did a great job sacrificing THE ROOK just now! That was a clever move. Insane."

The Pawns were excited to join the conversation and said, "We may not be the strongest pieces, but we can still contribute. We can be used to protect the more important pieces."

"That's right, Pawns. Every piece is important in its own way, and we must work together to achieve our goal." The King replied.

Suddenly, a gang of chess pieces blocked their way, under the pawn of trees. According to the History of Chess Book, Chapter 1, The Pawn Tree is the starting line for everyone. The Pawn Horde, a legendary army in history, was formed under the Pawn Tree. The Pawns, when nurtured, could turn into Queens, Rooks, Bishops or Knights depending on their will and ability.

"This tree I have nurtured, this path I have paved, if ye seek passage here, then a toll ye must pay." Said the Black King.

The chess army, as a team, continued to talk and plan, discussing different strategies and how they could work together to conquer the chessboard, while the pawns stared at the opponent and prevented anyone from coming close. And so, the chess pieces went up as a chess army, ready to take on any opponent that came their way. The Queen found a plan to support THE ROOK and managed to break through the pawn structure of the enemy and get a crushing victory.

The chess pieces showed that even though they were once just lifeless pieces, they were capable of working together and achieving great things. "Good job, everyone" said the King. Pointing at the e pawn, "The rooks have sacrificed themselves, now you promote to a Rook" and they proceeded to move on the chess board...as the other pieces surrendered and join the army...what is awaiting them?
Looks like just a small squad of pawns. Attack!!

Battle. War. Casualties. They fought for their all common goal - To get to victory

The road of chess rating gets increasingly difficult, as the slopes get steeper and steeper, with a road seemingly no end. The 3000 rating hill could be seen from the ground, like seeing the sun from the tiny planet earth. "We have a long way to go."
