Playing the Game (Dance)

In the world of chess there's a game to play
With kings and queens in a royal display
You move your pieces with skill and tact
To checkmate your foe that's a fact!

Pawn to e4 the game's begun
Castle your king protect everyone
Watch out for forks and pins don't be a pawn
Think ahead plan your moves before dawn

Knights jump in an L bishops on the diagonal
Rooks like open files they stand tall
The queen is powerful moves in all ways
But don't expose her too soon make her stay

Pawn to e4 the game's begun
Castle your king protect everyone
Watch out for forks and pins don't be a pawn
Think ahead plan your moves before dawn

Think of your best move to make
Then park it and make one better
Moves on impulse a big mistake
Strategy in chess is the letter

Don't forget en passant and the rule of fifty
Stalemate checkmate check and mate swiftly
Capture pieces control the center
Chess is a game of strategy nothing to venture

Pawn to e4 the game's begun
Castle your king protect everyone
Watch out for forks and pins don't be a pawn
Think ahead plan your moves before dawn

So remember these basics when you play
Chess is a lifelong game not a one-day fray
Enjoy the challenge the thrill of the fight
Keep playing and learning your chess future is bright!
