On a board where kings and queens reside,
Silent battles take their course,
Pawns advance with quiet pride,
Each move a whispered force.
Rooks stand guard on corners keen,
Knights leap with a hidden flair,
Bishops cut through lines unseen,
A dance of strategy and care.
Queens command with regal might,
Protectors of the royal throne,
While kings deliberate each fight,
Their power in restraint is shown.
In this realm of sixty-four squares,
Where every choice can shift the fate,
A world of patience, skill, and dares,
The timeless duel of checkmate.
