Each game of chess

Meansthere's one less
Variation left to be played.
Each day gotthrough
Means one or two
Less mistakes

Remain to be made.
Not much is known
Of early days of chess

Beyond a fairly vague repout
That fifteen hundred years ago
Two princes fought,

Though brothers
For a Hindu throne.
Their mother cried
For no one really

Likes their offspring
Fighting to the death.
She begged them
Stop the slaughter

With her every breath
But sure enough one brother died.
Sad beyond belief
She told her winning son

You have caused such grief
He tried to explain
How things had really been

But he tried in vain.
No words of his
Could satisfy the queen.
And so he asked
The wisest men he knew

The way to lessen her distress.
They told him he'd be
Pretty certain to impress

By using model soldiers on
A checkered board to show it
Was his brothefs fault
Theythus invented chess.
