Chess At Play

Champions playing against the clock Heart breaking moves tick, tick, tock Eagerly watching their opponents moves Strategy playing on a black and white board Special chess pieces with different names A mind sport game for masters with brains Testing their skills on sixty four squares Playing for hours in tournament pairs Losing and winning those judges rate All these professionals can play so great Yes there goes another check, checkmate © Copyright K.C.Leake 29th November 2015 All Rights Reserved
