On my blog I previously posted a column in which we tried to invent haiku with chess themes (yes the plural of haiku is haiku, go figure). To refresh your memory, a haiku is a type of Japanese poem consisting usually of three lines containing 5,7, and 5 syllables. Here are my submissions to start us out. If you all want, we can vote on our favorites. For first prize, well there is no prize, just the utmost satisfaction of knowing one is the finest haiku master on Chess.com, and really, isn't that enough?
Chess-descent into Utter madness and chaos Sweeter than sugar
Here's another one of mine:
Chess-obsession-love Fit's like a permanent glove Passion from above
You get the idea, a third try:
Bishop hated the Queen and her pawns-loyalty Six point jealousy
One last haiku:
Zugzwang Zwischenzug I can't move-caught in-between Zugzwang Zwischenzug
Now it's your turn. Please keep them clean and remember 5,7, and 5 syllables. Also, try to keep them chess-oriented but others are acceptable as well .
