A Brief Game of Chess

The pieces are lined 
        up 
          in their proper 
posistions
         It's time for the 
battle to commence
     Furrowed brows and 
minds which analyze 
    positions
        are the hallmarks of 
    this game
Like in life - one makes one's 
decisions and must live 
   with the consequences
       A mistake and all
will be lost
You must defend 
       against attacks
Let the game begin!
       Immersed in the 
struggle
       You'll pass a few hours
      in this most royal 
of games
