This is a cool poem! I've been trying to write some chess related poetry myself (I've been a poet for a while) - thus far, though, the particulars of the inspiration have yet to strike - though I think "Brilliancy" would be an awesome title, which is exactly the problem - the poem would have to be brilliant. I want to write something that captures the feel of a chess game.
In fact, I could go on at real length about the similarities between poetry and chess... maybe I'll have to do that at some point.
SHE
Of all the pieces that I've played
There's none like lovely Rita.
I love to play her opening.
No gambit could be neater.
She is postionally strong
She knows the variations
But most of all I like to see
Her pretty combinations.
I tried to fork her one black night
But I miscalculated;
she niftily unpinned herself
And thus she got me mated.
OOOO mamama...what justice...where is justice in this world??
