chess


A game called chess. I think most of us know how to play with it. Chess is a recreational and competitive game played between two players. Sometimes called Western chess or international chess to distinguish it from its predecessors and other chess variant. The game is played on a square chequered chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight square. At the start, each player (one controlling the white pieces, the other controlling the black pieces) controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove it from attack on the next move.


Therefore, there is plenty of ways to avoid checkmate. Some player have to sacrifice their own army. On my own experience, my bishop is stucked could not move and the option is dead. Well I bet some of us will try to safe the bishop without realising that it is useless. That is how life is going on actually. We do not realise that we have met to an end sometimes. But still we're trying to keep it work and keep on giving the false hope until to the fullstop. what I've learn from chess, is that no matter how important the thing is, if it is unworth to fight for, just do not go for it. It is because in the end it will give us disappointment. We only have to go forward and do not look backwards anymore for the tragic to haunted the future. Things happen for reasons. No one could escape from it. It just happen and we only have to prepare for it. The circle of life.
