Boden's Mate

It all began with both parties arranged even and still with nothing more challenging ahead of them than options a thought was made that provoked the other to take precaution one thing was for certain this was a game for the kill with both sides equally opposed to the others tenacious will attacks and counterattacks in this battle of attrition proved that a real masterminds plot was coming to fruition so realizing a mountain out of a mole hill the desperate and calculated summoned a queen jarred from her throne and backed by worthy bishops a prayer was conjured requiring deception to be precise. In this game of will, skill, and calculation all has now been foreseen the time has come there’s nowhere to run; oops i meant no backups! say good night to your dear sweet queen..haha!...wait; what, Boden’s mate? Queen sacrifice!!!? about the poem: i originally wrote this for a poetrysoup member contest, but the contest was taken down before i could post it so here it is anyway. Boden's mate is a chess term, where the opponet is checkmated in such a way that usually requires a major sacrifice by the performer of the checkmate. You can google it for futher details.
