Online chess

2781

My wife likes sub titles 

They seem to help her snore.

 

So I tried online chess

To help me when I'm bored.

 

Went for the easy!

 

Played a character named Bill-

 

Flogged me each time!

 

No setting for dills.

 

I learnt from my blunders and stopped making mistakes.

 

Now I was putting the pressure on keeping him in his place. 

 

But I still couldn't win?

 

The game was a disgrace. 

 

I would be one move from checkmate,

And my queen would move to the wrong space?

 

In from a distance Bill's bishop would glide,

 

And take out my queen!

 

What a hide.

 

I couldn't complain 

Had no recourse.

 

Seemed to me the game was rigged?

 

Not my fat fingers or anything. 

 

I wanted to beat him so we went at it hard..

 

Wasn't much left standing a total blood bath.

 

In the heat of the battle bill didn't take two of my pawns-

 

Both dashed for the line

 

Two queens are mine!

 

Took out his last rook,

He was out of his place.

 

Then took all his pawns 

At a leisurely pace. 

 

Two queens and a knight 

Against his king

 

A hopeless situation for their boy Bill.

 

But Billy the trickster pulls this out of his date..

 

"No moves left."

 

Stalemate!

 

If I can't win I don't have a hiss

 

But this online fraudster was taking the piss. 

 

But now I find I can reverse the play, 

 

Doesn't seem fair to rewind a game?

 

But bill's a cheat so I am one too. 

 

Now I reverse all my wrong moves.

 

Working out strategies Bill makes the same mistakes..

 

I'm beating him more often it sure feels great.
