Poem on Chess


Jayaram Perippa, This might be an annoyingly late response to the poem on chess. But Amrritha is making sure I don't get more than a few minutes every day for any sort of virtual communication. I loved the poem. Particularly, "Oh, Oxford huffed and his King was crowned, The exchange was lost, and a pawn was passed, And under the table a knight was found!" They made me do an "ada ada ada." I had come across a poem on 'Tennis Court Oath' during my first year at college. I remember that quite well because I participated in a small-time quiz event out there and the quiz master had asked "What is Tennis Court Oath." I replied, "An oath players take before the game. *Pause* No, after the game." It was spectacularly incorrect. It is apparently some extremely important event took place during the French Revolution. I'm digressing, as always. I just wanted to say I loved the poem :)
