I thought surely you'd won
Two pawns ahead
No! You blundered a piece
And lost instead
Word.

This is a haiku I wrote years ago
Paul Morphy
Little Creole bird -
once soared higher than eagles -
trapped in his own cage.
There once was a wily tactician,
Who got into a winning position.
But then he said "Sh*te,
I've blundered a knight!
I think I need extra tuition."

"Defenders from the tower, come quick!
For black's honor, protect the king!"
But too hasty did they their justice bring,
Blind to white's nasty trick,
Causing death by smothering.
There once was a brave king from France
Who adopted a stationary stance
Seeing the uncastled sire,
His foe opened fire
And soon made that poor monarch dance.
My knight is off with the magistrate
who saw something wrong with the poor man's gait
after swigging some wine
could not walk a straight line
I'm a piece short for six to eight
I thought, when I first read batgirl's lines, that we were to add to it so:
I played myself at chess last night.
My id was black, my ego white.
I tried and tried with all my might
But still I could not get it right.
Bobby James Fischer
was not a fisher of fish
He played chess then quit

I played myself at chess last night.
My id was black, my ego white.
I tried and tried with all my might
But still I could not get it right.
And than I started to lose sight
Blundered my good knight
to stop the pawn flight!
My queen, my queen
is swept away
by that evil knight
who forked my play
I pray, I pray
she returns to me
and with a true love's kiss
we'll mate away
I mean win all the games
Eh...
Inspired by sewing threads while players
work their way though all the layers
Just maybe I could mention
to adopt my convention
To play the Twinkly "On Lines "first
and give" Blanks"last attention
Any other ploy I feel
Just keeps play in suspension
The best ever, lemme tell ya,
Was Prince Dadian of Mingrelia.
Had his opponents cowed
When playing Bongcloud.
Untrue? Ask kco from Australia.
I like reading blogs to dispel the fogs of ignorance clouding my brain
I "wordsmith" a lot to ensure that I'm not too bored in the waiting game
But mostly I'm keen to study the Queen and her subjects in battle array
All topics perused to follow the clues in hope they may help me some day.
Post your original chess poems here.
Here's one of mine:
I played myself at chess last night.
My id was black, my ego white.
