Well. If life is like chess, where does love apply? Arent the pawns, just merely pawns. 

A symbol of love: The queen risks everything to protect her king.

Edit. I didn't think I'd start WW3 by asking my question.

The starting position is always the same in chess, but not so in real life.

There is no luck (random chance) in chess.

Did somebody say the queen can't get pregnant in chess?

Pawns can't retreat in chess.  Retreat is common in real-life war.

That's a bummer. What am I to do about all the losses I had blamed on bad luck?

In chess if you are a pawn and get promoted you are probably going to be transformed into a Queen.

In real life if one is promoted all you get is a little more money and a load more hassle and stress.

In real life, you don't have to reach the 8th rank to become a Queen Kiss

That is it. Chess is only a game, among thousands.

And chess can become an addiction, as you can see in lots of threads here in chess .  com.

In chess, as in life, white has the advantage. In chess white always moves first and black follows.

Conception, birth, life ,death.

Belief you will win, thinking you are winning, knowing you are lost, resignation.

Life and chess
