Chess Battle

Two egos locked in struggle 
in an ancient game
Fighting back with all the intelligence 
they can muster
Just a game
If you want to become good at it
you play hundreds of games 
and read plenty of chess books
A subtle ploy. a brilliant attack
Victory within sight! 
Chess a game for the ages

chess is like life or poetry. a battle and a game.

uggg, I would hate to play that game. I can barely stand to strategize for checkers but at least that one was not too difficult! This is a really good poem to describe chess enthusiasts.
