The courts have assembled Over the board, the pieces placed Rank and file First confrontation Innocence beguiled, to draw out The opposing side The bad bishop sends the knight Then many more children To the fight Initial stratagem complete Now we wait to see The enemy The complacent king, the fatted crown Watches safely from his tower His subjects scatter round The ostentatious queen, feints attack Poised to strike, like a deadly viper For the final bite A token to choose A move aside This diametric machination The perfect guise Identical in purpose Both will try Destroy the opposition Win the ultimate prize Tactics, tempo, time control, time control Position, promotion, protection, protection Material, movement, middlegame, middlegame Double attack, defense, development, development The final blunder is assigned And now the conqueror's mouth waters with pride The crooked rook corners the crown Space is lost and the wicked walk On new lands broken down The final moment draws near The tyrant fights, now his final sight Blood, bones, fertilizing fields
