For fifteen hundred years or more
These famous men have been at war
They fight by day,they fight by night
On squares of black and squares of white

And so they come face to face
Armed with sword,axe and mace
Soldiers stand in double line
Pawns in front and kings behind

Towering rooks do guard our flanks
While watching over waiting ranks
Next to rooks my knights are placed
Dressed in armor silk and lace
Lances pointed at their foe
Waiting for king to order go

Bishops stand upon their square
Perfectly still in silent prayer
Men of God they may be
But here to fight for victory

My queen she stands upon my left
And of my men she fights the best
No mercy will my queen bestow
On other queens or ranks below

She's feared by men one and all
From towering rooks to pawns so small
She's feared by bishop,knight and king
She's here to fight,she's here to win

My army's famous as my name
For in their king,I'm Charlemagne
My men are ready,they're at their best

These ancient warriors
These men of chess

By C.R. Carroll (Australia)

ps. I DID NOT COMPOSE THIS POEM

very nice,bravo...

From http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.h ... gewanted=2, on the poet John Fuller:

''The Most Difficult Position,'' a series of monologues by two chess players whose ultimate goal is to play against each other but who never do, takes this idea a step farther; ultimately, the poem says, two minds cannot comprehend each other fully.

I couldn't find it on the web...

other chess poems are on http://www.exeterchessclub.org.uk/chess ... Poems.html... has anybody found some more?
