line 1: we don't lead the way - as improvers, we aren't the best, but we are always improving

line 2: sharpen minds - improvers look to improve with every move

line 3: not perfect yet - we can still improve, and we strive to improve

line 4: see line 2

line 5: not the masters - we still have room to improve

line 6: chase the crown - we always aim to be our best

line 7: climbing skills tall curve - see line 2

line 8: with grit, grind, etc. - see 2, 3, 6.

thus, the answer is "improvers"

In a silent forest of 64 squares 🌲
A knight leaps thrice, ignoring the stares ♞
It smells a double attack, where danger glares 🍴
Two royals tremble in tactical snares 👑

The bishop hums on a diagonal trail 🎵
Clearing a path in a sacrifice tale 🔥
A queen lurks close behind the veil 👸
One wrong move and checks prevail ☠️

A rook stands proud on an open file 🚂
Pinning a piece in the deadliest style 📌
The king feels trapped all the while 🧱
Guess the tactic with a thoughtful smile 😏....

💬 Your move, mate....

@imraghav2013 think again and understand 3 paras and answer

In a silent forest of sixty-four squares 🌲
A knight leaps thrice, ignoring the stares ♞(knight hops multiple times)
It smells a fork, where danger glares 🍴(fork maybe?)
Two royals tremble in tactical snares 👑(royal fork)

The bishop hums on a diagonal trail 🎵(bishop hmm)
Clearing a path in a sacrifice tale 🔥(ok knight and diagonal so bishop probably not mating motif)
A queen lurks close behind the veil 👸(so queen is in danger)
One wrong move and checks prevail ☠️

A rook stands proud on an open file 🚂(taking squares from king)
Pinning a piece in the deadliest style 📌(maybe it is pinning the piece controlling one of the squares required for windmill)
The king feels trapped all the while 🧱(has to be windmill)
Guess the tactic with a thoughtful smile 😏....

ok

NorwegianNikki

Not sure, but a windmill seems like it'd work, yeah!

NorwegianNikki

I'd also say that in the second line (a knight leaps thrice, ignoring the stares), the knight could be going to squares that are seen by opposing pieces, but is defended/they are pinned or smth.

SPK1729

Nope

imraghav2013

Double attack?
