The similarity between Chess and Relationships

Though Chess was invented some time ago (BC), so to were relationships. You could say that it all started with Adam and Eve, the Chess Game of Life.

There are many similarities. You have your King and your Queen, they control the whole shebang. As in chess the King is the target for everyone to go gunning after and the Queen is the most powerful piece. Same as relationships the woman has the power and control to vanquish any piece (man/woman) in her path if she so wishes. I attribute this to the forbidden fruit.

The tree of knowledge, was where the King (man), who started out late in the game, because Eve got a taste of the fruit before Adam giving her a head start on being smarter. It’s like being a twin, you were both born the same day but you came out first and therefore you are the oldest period.

In chess the king is blocked in and has nowhere to move unless given the opportunity. Although the same is true for the queen, once given one space she can run the whole board, she has 8 directions she can go. (Free reign). The poor king can only move one space at a time, unless he can castle (“cheating” to men). See, if a man cheats he gets maybe just maybe one time to ease out of the situation. Than as a rule if you are in check once during the game before you castle, you are not able to castle in the future, ergo… you have lost your cheater’s pass before you even get a chance to use it.

Men use lies (pawns), deception (knights) to advance their game for defense. Men don’t have much of an offense and their defense is some what lacking. It takes a queen to provide the needed offense and defense to protect the (king). The queen on the other hand has her girlz (bishops), home (rooks), but because she is smarter and able to manipulate most any situation, she can turn the knights and the pawns into loyal subjects.

Let me explain a little more clearly. When a man is not living right, his first move it to lie. Although lying is not going to make matters better, they will help to fend off the initial assault on his integrity. He will wipe his brow and know that he just dodged a bullet.

If in fact the pawns don’t work as well as expected, the knights (friends, dawgs, etc) block the way and try to fend off the advancing onslaught. In most cases this defense works for oh…about a…lets say….2% of the time. But it is still a defense that is used.

Women, on the other hand use the same pieces and can cause untold havoc. Queens can lure you in, like a spider. Just when you know you have her right where you want her, you get blindsided by one of her girlz that was laying in the cut and off you go, on to the growing heap of broken bones and twisted flesh of the other failed attempts to conquer the unobtainable queen.

Sometimes the Rook is the most important peace on the board because it only has 2 directions in which to move, the same with the Home. The Queen can make a house a home or just plain HELL. All of which is at her whim.

This is just an overview of the similarities. In relationship as in chess there is but one truth, working together enables you to conquer any obstacle. Use her wisely and maybe you won’t have to lie down in defeat prematurely.
