She was Queen:

I always thought chess was romantic;

Protect the queen at all costs.

Because without her the game is over and all

Is lost.


A king will always be a king.

But add a queen and he becomes more;

He becomes greater.

He now has a cause; something to protect.


But that queen is not so weak.

She carries a mantle;

A heavy power, a silent one.

Because behind every king


There is a queen.

And she is fierce and she is wise.

She can bring men to their knees

With words like daggers.


A word from the wise:

Never underestimate her.

For she will destroy you

As much as she will be your saving grace.
