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!
