Queen's Gambit [(Interlude)]
In chess there are 32 pieces on the board
Of which are separated by the colors black and white
Each denoting the 2 separate sides and/or players, therefore leaving 16 pieces a side
These 16 pieces are comprised of 1 King 1 Queen 2 Rooks 2 Bishops 2 Knights and 8 pawns
Each piece is allocated with a value and a set of capabilities
Now the purpose of the game is to capture or rather checkmate the oppositions King while protecting your own
Thus making the king the most important piece in the game
However the King is the second weakest piece on the board
Only after the pawn which is rightfully the lowest rated piece on the board
The Queen however is the most powerful piece in the game
And by default making it the second most important piece in the game
Now I have been playing chess since I was 4 years old
And have unfortunately only learnt the subtext of the game
In life through experience the lesson is quite simple in both chess and life
By all means the King is very important but without his Queen
He is rendered weak with his chances of success made not only extremely difficult but also unlikely
To the all the Queens out there that are in our lives thank you
