Chess Life

Life is like a game of chess, Every move makes a difference Good or bad . But the game of chess is not life, But every move good or bad Can change your life . So make every move A good move. Because life is not a game .

I'm not too familiar with chess, but this poem was a good introduction. I liked the comparison of life to a game of chess.

I agree. Life is not a game yet so many treat it like a game not taking their choices and moves seriously. Here's to 'good moves!!' Wishing you a splendid evening, Sara

Hello Queen of Poetry , it's the first time I used this move in a chess opening and subsequently lost, a move I won't be making again . Lesson learned . Thanks for your comments they are always truly welcomed . Daniel
