Chess.
Reflecting.
Reflecting
life.
Endless
moves
to be
made.
Subtleties
then
attacked.
Catching
unaware.
On guard,
constantly
on guard.
Less your
flank be
down.
Making
ripe for
the kill!
Moving
for position.
Always
on the
edge.
Life,like
chess
reflecting.
Jockeying
for position.
Stepping over.
Knocking
down.
Life like
chess a
sophisticated
game.
Deadly
to the
end.

So true John.
I play croquet and one form of croquet is looked upon as playing chess in some ways in the moves you make in trying to prevent your opponent running a hoop.

Seems most human competitive games align with the realities of existence.
Battle then smite your opponent.
Thank you for reading.
a timeless metaphor
worded so accessible,
but unlike life
Chess, offers a Draw-path
of an escape...
a wonderful read, thank you
Yup, life is definitely a tougher game.
Thank you for reading.
