Of Strategizing, Pawns and Plotting…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
Playing the game of chess demands that individuals strategize their moves.
To accomplish this each player must think ahead, considering what character or pieces they can move upon the chessboard, and to what square, empty or filled by one the opponent’s characters, and then the various moves their opponent can make in response.

And so we wait.
