I make plans. If you know me.

I hate being caught unawares. That’s when Im an antelope at the Kruger National Park caught in the headlights of oncoming bundu bashing traffic, at night.

So I calculate steps. 5 moves forward at a time. That’s how you play chess. And you have to take your time, to think, to think it through and to think everything through and calculate your next move.

And chess teaches you all about life.

And you have to be ready at some point to sacrifice the Queen. Granted she may have held you down, at some point, she may have shielded you from some rampant attacks from your foe. And dealt with your opposition, forcefully and guided your defences. But when the time comes you may have to make the play. To let her go.

Because at some point a pawn can become a Queen. Its a crowning, an inauguration when that happens, and you have opportunity to build again. Having let go of the previous mission, you start a new battle map. And you regain your sensibilities, that you may have lost, to time. And you regain time. That you may have lost.

And the pawn can also be anything more powerful that you want. So you have to guard it, and guide them on their path to greatness. You have to defend them with the other more powerful pieces, you have to give them your love and attention fam. Keep them close.

But you have to make plans to make that crowning move bro. It’s graduation, that time. And it takes time. Never rush it, your opponent knows you will be planning that when you make the sacrifice of your Queen. So you have to out-think him/them my G. They have evil eyes when they peer into your plans, keep your guard.

Play chess my G.
