C'mon guys. I am actually being graded on this, and I have several more poems to go. If you do not have any ideas for y and z, then give me suggestions for subjects of other poems.

You give us x and we'll give you y & z.

I already did give you x.

 Yes and btw y and z have already been blessed like you asked!


I am tired of jokes. I need an intelligent answer.

Analysis beguiles casual dwellers.
Even foolish gambits have indulged justification.
Known liabilities may not often persuade quickly.
Rather symbolic, truly understanding
vulnerability will xenophobe your zules.

They have to be adjectives...

 That's an intriguing caveat. I'll see what I can come up with.

Hey, if you do not want to offer help, that is fine. However, if you are not going to, then please stop spamming on this thread.

I'm not sure many adjectives begin with x...

I was going to suggest you try something with x-ray attacks before you said that.

If my wife thought I was spamming away from home, she'd kill me.

Please don't tell.

And with Z, again if they didn't have to be adjectives, you'd've had these to play with:

  • Zugzwang: German for "compelled to move". A situation that occurs when any move a player makes will weaken his/her position, however, he/she is compelled to move in accordance to the rules.

  • Zwischenzug: German for "intermediate move". A move that is made inbetween a seemingly forced sequence of moves, improving a player's position.

  • AquaMan

    Feld, think James Joice.  Stretch the dictionary a bit to suit your needs.  Maybe compound words.

    xtra-strategic
    xtra-younameit

    zappingly sharp play
    zombie long game

    yo knight moves like a hobby horse

    Thanks for all your help guys. I am probably just going to try to persuade my teacher that I could not find words for y and z that relate to chess.

    Here's a poem my dad wrote:

     

    ODE TO CHESS

    Ten times I charged the grim, foreboding walls

    and was pitched into the pit of defeat.

    But, heedless of humiliating falls, 

    I clambered bravely back onto my feet

    and charged again, again to be down thrust

    onto the scrap heap of people who lose

    onto the mound of mortifying dust

    whilst my opponent sat without a bruise

    upon his pedestal. We changed sides

    and fought again, but I was defeated

    whilst he with arrogant and haughty strides 

    took the throne upon which I had been seated.

    Ha! Win or lose, it's how you play the game.

    But I would like to beat him just the same.
