A nice chess quote !

Composed by Omar Khayyam ad translated by Fitzerald linking chess to life

(& from the message of my affectionate brother Chesstyrant !)

  "It's (Life's) a huge square of nights and days,

 Where Destiny with men for pieces plays.

 Moves hither and thither, mates and slays,

 And then, one by one, in the closet lays."
