Silence roars louder, than any crowd in...

Queen's gambit
Starting with the book move, Hii, it's pawn to e-four. Don't act like strangers, You've seen this move before. Now my knights came into play, It's surely an awkward move. You won't understand my intentions, And it might hurt you out of blue. Now I'm cluttered in this position, And there's no trick under my hat. But I'm a true and loyal player, You better believe...

The insecure Ghost
In the realm of shadows, a ghost did appear, With a body of mist, she drew near. Playing chess alone, I was startled, you see, But she joined the game, inviting me. "Why so scared?" she asked, with a sigh, "People flee when I'm nearby." "I can go," I offered, trying to be kind, But she pleaded, "Stay, if you don't mind." We...
