CHESS ~ A GAME FOR THE BRAIN ! A 4 5 5 Blank Verse Sonnet

 

THE ANTHEM FOR THE MUSICAL CHESS ~ JOSH GROBAN

 

CHESS is a Game played in every Country

With the same Pieces and the same Rules

PAWNS (eight) CASTLES (two) BISHOPS (two) KING QUEEN

The QUEEN is the games most valuable piece !

 

SHE can move diagonally or she .......

Can move horizontally ~ Bishops can

Move diagonally and Castles can

Move horizontally ~ Knight\'s have own move

And can jump other pieces ~ EXCITING !

 

PAWNS can move forward only ~ Two squares

First move ~ and one thereafter !  If they cross

Their opponents base line ~ they can transform

Into any piece and attack the KING 

I always carry a CHESS SET with me !

My DAD taught me to play CHESS when I was SEVEN and

we had a CHESS club @ Secondary School (age 11) We

played matches against other Schools. Girls are good at

CHESS because they can multi-task (think ahead !) CHESS

is relatively easy ~ once you learn the Rules and play (and

win !) a few games. Then you have a FRIEND for life !  

 

THE MUSICAL really is about CHESS and is about a World

Championship between the USA and Russia in the Italian 

Town of MERANO. Florence is the American\'s \"Second\" and

she falls in Love with the Russian who defects to the WEST.

are around my HEART\"  Enjoy the BALLAD ~ Love BRIAN XOX
