Zugzwang

You made your first move with a pawn,

What a nice opening.

 

I saw your bishop ready to attack

Is this that old blitz thing?

 

Remember, I am a master, not a patzer.

You thought that I was weaker.

 

I will not play the “desperado”;

Let me just do the fianchetto.

 

You placed your king near mine

Do you think I will resign?

 

I’ll place my knight near you;

Now what will you do?

 

I will trap you with these isolated pawns.

Dear, there’s no way back home.

 

My pawns are now promoted,

Your game is now unrated…

 

Touch move,

wrong move,

Checkmate.
