Shape of Chess

Infinite game possibilities
                           As numerous as the stars above
                       As numerous as the sands in the sea
                 It transcends all the particles in the universe
                 A simple yet complicated game in the world
                      Played in sixty four squared battlefield
                             With a total of thirty two pieces
                                  Controlled by the players.
                Squares and pieces are symmetrically created
                Divided in two distinct colors: Black and white
                                   Each with sixteen pieces
                                   In five exclusive designs
                                               It includes:
                                               Two Kings
                                              Four Rooks
                                             Two Queens
                                             Four Knights
                                             Four Bishops 
                                       And Sixteen pawns
                                    Functioning differently
                             With own moves that could kill
                       All of them resides in the chessboard
                   A board made with ranks: 1-8 and files: A-H
               Every squares has a name for their identification
          This game was played by two various players or more
     It's a sport, an art, and a game where the intellectual battles
 It's the number one game I will ever play with love, it was CHESS!
