  Chess In Extension Seven

User Rating:

-- /10
(0 votes)



  Against the leader of the trio
The little girl employed the strategy they
Use in the eastern part of the war ravaged D.R.C
The strategy of the African Rock Python
First you tie him
Then you whip him
There's a moral behind all this

Never retreat a developed knight
To the first rank

The game against the motor mouth
Who had declared to the world that he'd never
Lose a game of chess against a skinny lass from
The forgotten townships was a lesson in how
To conduct a sustained attack against the enemy king
And the rest of us patzers have spent sleepless nights
Analyzing those quick rapier like thrusts
And the sore loser has learned
To keep his mouth shut
And respect women's chess

And the last challenger
Was also disposed off in similar fashion
And I don't want to be like him
The patzer who was mated with all
The mates in the world

And that's how a skinny little girl
Saved the honor of Extension Seven
And that's how the scoffers of nowhere find it
Hard to explain to their mighty sponsors how
They lost to a girl of fifteen

But what is Boden's mate?
Why do they call it A Bone In The Throat Knight?
Is Obama a good chess player or a similar Bush
Like clone of a bungler on the world stage?
